Clip Point Clouds by Fence

Ribbon: Point Clouds – Clip and Section – Clip > Clip by Fence
Menu: Point Clouds – Clip > By Fence
Toolbar: Point Clouds > By Fence
Command line: NPC_CLIP_FENCE

Clip the cloud by polygonal boundary. Boundary is perpendicular to the view plane. The cloud is clipped perpendicular to the plane of the viewport in the view direction.
A cloud can be clipped in one viewport (source), with the result displayed in another viewport (target), specified by the user. When the clip result is displayed in the target viewport, the same view will be set that was in the original viewport during clipping operation.

Command prompts:

Specify points of polyline: Specify the first point of polygonal boundary.
or [Undo]: Specify the second and next points of polygonal boundary. Select Undo to delete the last created point. Press ENTER to end the command.
Select view: Select needed view to display the clip. This request is displayed if there are several viewports in the model space.

As a result of the Clip by Fence (inside) command, the cloud area inside the frame will be clipped.

As a result of the Clip by Fence (outside) command, the cloud area outside the frame will be clipped.
Command clip only mapping of point cloud in the target view. The cloud remains unchanged in the rest of viewports.
