Tool Point Cloud Reclassifier / Subset Extractor

The tool can be used to either reclassify a Point Cloud attribute or to extract a subset of a Point Cloud based on the values of an attribute.

The tool provides three different options:
(a) reclassification of (or extraction based on) single values,
(b) reclassification of (or extraction based on) a range of values and
(c) reclassification of (or extraction based on) value ranges specified in a lookup table.

Each of these three options provides it's own parameters. The 'new value' parameters are irrelevant in case a subset is extracted.

In addition to these settings, two special cases ('NoData values' and 'other values' not included in the parameter setup) are supported:
In mode (a) and (b) the 'NoData option' is evaluated before the method settings, in mode (c) the option is evaluated only if the NoData value isn't included in the lookup table.
The 'other values' option is always evaluated after checking the method settings.
