      The Point Groups layer contains the following sub-layers:

      • Unclassified: Selected by default. It contains points that do not belong to any other point group. By default, all the points are Unclassified.
      • Disabled: Points that will not be used for step 3. DSM, Orthomosaic and Index. When processing step 3. DSM, Orthomosaic and Index, only the points belonging to the point group Disabled will not be used.
      • Ground, Road Surface, High Vegetation, Building, Human Made Object: Predefined point groups created for the Point Cloud Classification. When the point cloud classification has not been generated the predefined point groups are empty.
