Point Clouds Section

Point clouds section is used to display needed part of the cloud. To create section, first determine the plane. UCS moves to this plane after section. Section changes only cloud mapping in specified view. Cloud section made only in one of the orthogonal views depending on the type of section.

Just as with clipping operations, as a result of the section commands, the cloud visibility changes only in the target viewport; no changes occur to the object itself. The display of cloud in other viewports remains the same.

Unlike cloud clipping operations, when creating a section, the position of the user coordinate system in the target viewport changes, which greatly simplifies the subsequent “rendering” of the resulting part of the section by constructing vector objects in the UCS plane.
