2. Hover over the extraction area to highlight its handles.
3. Click and drag the handles to change the dimensions and offset for Region1:
°
Click and drag the middle handle to adjust the OffsetY and OffsetX parameters.
°
Click and drag the side handles to adjust the Height and Width parameters.
When a handle is moved, the corresponding parameter values in the Parameter editor
are automatically updated. As an alternative to moving the handles, the parameter
values can be changed directly in the Parameter editor.
Increasing the number of rows

16-bits data, according to the steps below:
1. In the Parameter editor, set RegionSelector to Scan3dExtraction1.
2. Set ComponentSelector to Range.
3. Set PixelFormat to Coord3D_C16.
