Before I can merge my scans together some parts need to be deleted. Easy enough to select but what about deselecting with the mouse? The only option is to deselect all. Most other programs will let you hold a key like Ctrl or Alt to subtract from the selection. There are plenty of times when I’m precisely selecting something and accidentally get the wrong area. I hate starting all over every time. Am I missing something?

Yeah, not as flexible as desired. My only suggestion is the Undo/Redo arrows at the upper left.
Did you try CloudCompare? It is free and great for such tasks!

@Philnolan3d I hate when this happens, I was doing some tutorial yesterday with precise selection and had to start over again for 2 times in a row …
As Ivan stated already get yourself free Cloud Compare software, much more advanced , great registrations of point cloud , you can always bring the point cloud back for meshing in Studio , it is worthy trying .
I have couple videos about on my YT channel just click on my icon for a link
Oh I see. I misunderstood how Cloud Compare would have anything to do with deleting sections.

Hi, i have just looked for a solution to DEselect points. I expected to have some kind of modifier key, to use the selection tools for deselection as well. It would be very powerful to select/deselect astray points in the point cloud for cleanup. Please add this feature, as well as some keybindings for the selection tools.
Thanks,
Best,

The only option I can suggest now is to invert the selection, add to the selection, invert again, and hit delete.
Hi Everyone, did this Deselect function ever get solved ?
You can see from my pic that the Isolation tools is too aggressive even on the lowest setting. I would like to be able to keep the points on the Hat, shoes etc by deselecting them from the isolation process.
Is this possible ?
Thanks,
Mike.
If the lasso is not working with Shift click then maybe not yet .
When you have flower or plants it is bad idea to use lose points selection at this moment .
If you use Isolation, selecting any other tool clears your selection so there’s no opportunity to use the lasso to deselect.
For whatever reason, the paint (connected) tool just doesn’t do the same thing as the Isolation function. Maybe they are the same at some specific setting of isolation, but it’s definitely not a low setting.
The isolation tool only affect separate islands of fused points .
The isolation feature affect raw cells that was not fused and also separate islands that are not connected to the main scan .
No matter the settings at the size of human body anything of this proportion will be automatic selected . Remember the settings are based on the main scan size. Not based on a single points .
In this case I would actually skip the isolation feature and move to overlapped points feature to clean single points .
After meshing if there was any separate points it would mesh itself so can be removed using isolations after meshing .
But for that to works you need to select ( close holes ) while meshing .
