CAD drafting Exploding a Cloud into Points 6 Command line: NG_EXPLODE_POINTCLOUD

 

The command allows you to create Points or Geopoints or Blocks objects based on the cloud points for further creation of TIN surface by them (for example, by the Create TIN by Points)command.

Before using the Explode the Cloud into Points command, run the Drawing Units command. In the Insertion scale section, set the value in meters.

The command options are set in the Properties toolbar.

Options:

Result type

Objects to be created based on the cloud points: Points, COGOPoints, Blocks.

Delete source

If Yes is selected – the source point cloud will be deleted after the split is completed. No – the source point cloud remains in the drawing.

Use class

If the cloud has been previously classified, it is possible to get only points of the specified class after splitting.

 

Command prompts:

Apply changes? <Yes> or [Yes/No]:

Yes – split into points will be made with the current settings.

No – if the settings have been changed, they are not saved. Split into points will be made with the settings displayed immediately after starting the command.

 

Then the Explode dialog box appears.
