Retain keep in / keep out point cloud selection

    When using the keep in / keep out point cloud selection, it would be good to retain the left over points in the view (if there are some) to continue with breaking down the selection afterwards.

     

    So for example if you create a subset of data around a power pole that have all be defined as building for some reason in the automation, and you want to put some of the points into a powerline region, some into the vegetation region, some into the default region, currently after each add to region or create region function is done all the points return to the view.

     

    This makes sense if there are no points left in the view after shifting the data to a region, but if there are points left we should leave them in the view so they can be put into another region if needed. If a user wants to return all the data to view then they can select the restore or restore all function if needed.

    If I understand what you're trying to do,you could move more points than needed into a newly defined region.  Then you could work on further moving points in that new region into other regions. It sounds like that would be a similar result.

    The approach recommended by Robert isn't bad, but it also isn't great.  It is fine if you are working with a point cloud that hasn't yet been classified, but if you are trying to tune up classifications, you don't want to start throwing well classified data into a temporary region, so that you can then use that temporary region to sort it back out, both the good stuff and the stuff you were trying to correct in the first place.

    But his recommendation is about the only tool you can use.  It is a bit of two steps back, two and half steps forward solution.

    Regardless, I appreciate the input.
