The Classification tab in LP360 ribbon provides a comprehensive set of tools for manual point classification within a point cloud. These tools allow users to reassign point classifications using spatial selections, shape‑based painting tools, and cleanup utilities. The tab is commonly used to refine or correct classifications after automated or AI‑based classification workflows.
The tools on this tab operate directly on the active point cloud layer and respect the current Source, Destination, and Filter settings.
Filters
Source and Destination Controls
-
Source
Defines which points are eligible for classification. For example, users can restrict operations to All Points or to a specific existing class. Learn more about Creating Custom Classification Filters -
Destination
Specifies the classification value and flags that selected points will be assigned to (for example, Building, Ground, Vegetation, etc.).
For automated alternatives to manual destination‑based classification, see AI Ground Classification and other AI‑driven workflows available in LP360 Cloud.
Manual Classification Tools
The Classification tab includes multiple shape‑based selection tools for interactively assigning classifications:
-
Classify within Polygon
Reclassifies all eligible points contained within a user‑drawn polygon. -
Rectangle and Circle Tools
Available in Small, Medium, and Large sizes for efficient point painting:- Rectangle brushes
- Circular brushes
Manual classification tools are most often used to refine results produced by automated or AI‑based classification, especially for complex features such as bridges, buildings, or vegetation boundaries.

Visibility and Edit Controls
-
Classify Non‑Visible Points
Allows classification edits to include points that are not currently visible due to view filters or display settings. -
Undo / Redo Classification
Enables reversal or reapplication of recent classification edits. Undo and redo functionality is available for selections within supported size limits.
Auto Classifiers
-
Auto Classifiers (EXP)
Provides access to experimental automated classification tools when available. -
Outliers
Identifies and classifies isolated or anomalous points that do not conform to surrounding surfaces. -
Tree Segmentation
Supports segmentation of individual trees from vegetation‑classified points and is commonly used in forestry and vegetation analysis workflows. For fully automated tree workflows, see Tree Segmentation and Forestry Tools in LP360 AI‑enabled features.
For large‑scale automated workflows, see AI Classification tools available through LP360 Cloud, which can significantly reduce the amount of manual editing required.
Cleanup Tools
🆕 Added to Classification tab in v2026.1
-
Cleanup
Tools designed to assist with post‑classification refinement, including correcting misclassified points and smoothing classification boundaries after manual or automated processing. -
Commit Edits / Reset Classes
Finalizes classification changes or restores original class assignments.
Cleanup tools are commonly used after:
Products
🆕 Added to Classification tab in v2026.1
-
Generate Products
Initiates downstream product generation workflows that depend on classification results. -
Export LandXML TIN
Exports classified point clouds and derived surfaces for use in external applications or deliverables.
Classification‑based exports are often a downstream step after AI Ground Classification or manual refinement workflows.
