| There are two API tools to help client applications interact with the user:
| The SetSelectionFilter method and FilterAction property of PointCloudInstance allows API users to specify volumetric filter to a cloud. The parts of the cloud that pass this filter will be rendered differently from the rest of the cloud, with highlighting done with blue highlight color.
| Selection.PickBox() invokes a two click selection that lets users specify a rectangular area on the screen. This returned box generates a filter and either highlights or isolates the selected points in the cloud.
