Is there a trick to having a polygon that has been created by draping an imported polyline and converting it to a polygon being able to select the point cloud data that it then encompasses?

To select point cloud data within a polygon, use clipping or selection tools in your software. For more efficient management, tools like the freecine latest version can help streamline spatial data handling and selection tasks.
