Demolition Menu

To allow precise demolition based on the object volume:

1. Select an object in the MicroStation CONNECT display, and then select Demolish Objects to create a volume in Point Cloud Manager.

   The dialogue window shown below gives you the option to confirm if the selected elements represent the desired volume.

   

2. Select Yes to pass the selection over to Point Cloud Manager.

3. Within AVEVA Point Cloud Manager, select the Demolition Objects button on the Visualisation menu to display the demolition objects. The selected objects are displayed within a translucent overlay which represents the selected demolition clearance. This may be altered through the main Point Cloud Manager options window. You may highlight or hide points which are within this volume prior to demolition.
