=====Point Group Set=====


**Point Group Sets are used to manage scan points a user assigns to a Point Group.** [[Point Groups]] are similar to the CAD world of 'layers' since groups work and function in a similar manner. 

**A Point Group Set** must be created //**AND**// activated, //**OR**// an existing set added to the project //**AND**// activated before scan points can be assigned to a classification / isolation group.

----

Below are two point cloud examples where the scan points have been assigned to various groups.
