So, let's go and create some line work, and flatten it down to zero. And, we're going to take a look at some of these walkways here. So, we're just going to quickly trace out a little bit of this walkway for an idea of how this works. So, I'm just going to go and take a poly-line. So, I'm just going to take a 3D poly-line. And, I'm just going to just quickly trace out some of these walkways in the Point Cloud. (mouse clicking) So, I can just move around, and sort of see where the edges are.
