    • Drop class – Drop only specified classifications. Enables Class to filter/drop option.
  • Class to filter/drop – Space separated list of classes to filter or drop.
  • Set classification of points – Whether to set the classification of points in the file. If used, all points in the file will be set to the chosen classification. Enables the following option:
    • Classification to set points to – What classification to set the points to.
