This command splits a point cloud into individual scan patches corresponding to the original scanning passes.

It is particularly useful for inspecting, isolating, or removing specific acquisitions from handheld or arm-based scanning systems.

> [!TIP]
> ### Requirements
> 
> Select at least one cloud containing scanning passes and launch the command.
