Move by

Step size:

Half of view depth - the section is moved by half of the section’s depth. If the section depth is 1 m, the section is moved 0.5 m with each mouse click.

Almost full depth - the section is moved by almost its full depth. This is the recommended setting if you zoom in/out in section views using the mouse wheel. Zoom by mouse wheel can lead to little inaccuracies between consecutive sections, so that points may be missed by classification tools when moving with full view depth.

Full view depth - the section is moved by its full depth. If the section depth is 1 m, the section is moved 1 m with each mouse click.
