1. Click the 
icon in the toolbar on the right side when a point cloud is active in the scene.
The cursor changes to a crosshairs.
2. Click to create a polygon of the area you want to analyze.
This initiates the analysis.
3. Optional: make further settings in the analysis toolbar, see explanations below.
4. To save the analysis in the project permanently, click the 
icon in the analysis toolbar.
You can make further settings in the analysis toolbar.
: Change the color scale. The color scale compares the points with a reference plane, see below. Then it colors each point with its deviation to the reference plane.
: Shows or hides the reference plane that is used for the point colorization, see above.
: Allows adding labels showing the deviation from the reference plane. Note this is only possible after you have saved the analysis
: Toggles the unit used for range and tolerance between imperial (ft) and metric (m).
: Copies a link to the analysis to the clipboard. You can then share this link with via email or messenger. This link will restore the various elements of the scene such as the active point cloud and the 3D model. Note this is only possible after you have saved the analysis.
: Hide the analysis.
: Save the analysis.
: Delete the analysis.
