Please expand the lasso command to work well also with point clouds.

Brush selection (SelBrushPoints) is very slow and you can`t precisely select points because you see dots instead of line selection.

Above you can see you it looks when I try to select points with SelBrushPoints command and one continuous stroke. I could make it lower and hide some points 🙂 but I can`t use the lasso selection to do that 🙂

I would like to select, delete and hide points from point cloud scans. I think that many people would like to see those features inside Rhino.

Without selecting dots it`s also impossible f.e. create patch over points (patch command). In my opinion, the Lasso command should work with everything (including point clouds).

Using the `SelectionFilterVertices` command, you can select points in a point cloud with the `Lasso` selection.
