Interior Points Filter

This command removes wayward interior points in a tunnel or cavity point cloud such as people or equipment picked up in a scan. The routine checks that points fall within a triangulated mesh of varying triangle sizes. Using smaller triangles should capture more detailed exterior surfaces, but are prone to labeling interior points as exterior points. Larger triangles will capture less surface detail but are more likely to drop interior points. The triangle size is set by Distance Resolution. The dialog has options to either erase the interior points or change their layer.
