Command: Collect:Points

Shortcut : None

This new command collects a set of points from the target object into a single polyline. The special use for the command is to deal with data in point clouds or as facetted models. When reading in such an object, it is loaded as a single polyline or polygon. The user may wish to separate the data into smaller sets.

As interaction, the user draws a polygon on the screen using the left moue button (middle to cancel, right to close the polygon). Those points in the target object that fall inside the draw polygon are either moved or copied into a separate object. The order of the points will remain the same as in the original data.
