Hi Daniel,
First thank you very much for sharing this great software with us.
Now, my problem: I've received a point cloud in LAS format that has an outlier that I want to delete. To do that I've performed the following (not knowing if there's a more simple method) to identify and delete it:
1) Segment
2) Polygonal Selection
3) Segment Out
4) Confirm
5) Save (into a new file)

This works fine, however, when I open the saved LAS file, the classification codes are gone.
Please explain.

Kind regards,

Hum, in fact CC loads the LAS file classification field as a standard scalar field (there's no equivalent of classifications in CC structures).

Then it simply "forgets" that this scalar field was a classification. We could use the scalar field name to detect that it (may) be a classification and ask the user to confirm this.

I'll try to add this in the next release.

Best

Thank you. I'll look forward to see that implemented.
Kind regards,
Thomas

Ok, the last online version (09/22/2012) should fix this issue.

Fantastic! This works great now. Thank you very much, Daniel! Appreciate this a lot.
Kind regards, Thomas
