Select Duplicate Points

Select all of the points with duplicate point IDs in your project if you need to review or merge them into single points. Merge duplicate points if you know that they are the same physical point, and you do not need them to be separate points.

To select points with duplicate IDs:

  1. Select Select Duplicate Points in Home > Selection. The Select Duplicate Points command pane displays.
  2. If you do not want to set a distance tolerance between the points selected, uncheck Within the following distance.
  3. Otherwise, click two points in a graphic view, or type a distance in the box. Points within the distance will be selected as duplicates, depending on what you set in the next group.
  4. Select an option to ignore point IDs, or include them only if they are identical or different.
  5. Click Apply if you want to see and refine the selection, or click OK to use the current selection criteria. All points meeting all of the criteria are selected. The number of selected points appears on the status bar.
