Collection shapes
Collection shapes category shows a list of collection shape types. Collection shapes can be used to group laser points. Typical collection shape type examples are building, road, or tree. The actual grouping is done by placing collection shapes with the Place Collection Shape tool. The collection shape type determines what kind of an object the polygon encloses as well as the level and the symbology of the polygon.
You can Add, Edit, and Delete collection shape types by using the corresponding buttons in the Settings dialog.
