Pointcloud Select Problem

Software: PC DMIS CAD++ 2011
Equipment: Romer Absolute Arm

I scanned an IP and want to clean it up. When I use the Pointcloud Operator Select feature and pick "polygon", the lines of the polygon used to clear away sections of the pointcloud start randomly off in the graphics display window. When I click again it stops the line in a random place and goes in a different direction. This makes it impossible to select a feature on the pointcloud.

    Bug. I got around it by using 'box' select instead and rotating my view to clip the unwanted portions.

    Fixed in v2012.
  • I run into this also once in a while. Most of the time the polygon feature works but sometimes this happens to me, never did get an answer from the rep as to why it happens.
