Point Cloud Isolation

Point Cloud Isolation is the classification or segmentation of point cloud data. In simple terms, isolation of point cloud data is assigning scan points to separate layers, layers we refer to as Vertex Groups. Systems such as piping, equipment, walls, floors, and ceilings can all be separated into their own groups. Any item no matter how large or small can be placed into a separate group. These groups allow each item to be turned on and off independently. Each item can be also be exported as a separate entity apart from other points in the laser scan. The result of isolation is increased productivity, reduced scan noise, and a clean no clutter point cloud when modeling with scan data.

Groups can be exported and modeled with clarity since grouped items can be independently turned on or off.
