Tips & TechniquesIf you plan to keep the original point block, you can use different layers to help manage point cloud data. Do the following before using this command. Using the Layer Manager, create a new layer with a name like "Original Point block" and assign it to the original point block. Then create a new layer with a name like "Exploded Point Block" and make it the active layer. Then when you execute this command the points will be kept separate and manageable.
