# Separate by Attributes

![CmdCloudSegmentAnyExtradata.svg](https://cdn.document360.io/820e11db-8ed5-45ae-ac86-f6b77dcb2aa7/Images/Documentation/CmdCloudSegmentAnyExtradata.svg)

This command allows to segment a cloud using any of its attributes.

> [!TIP]
> ### Requirements
> 
> Select the cloud with attributes (classification, intensity, etc.) to segment and launch the command.

---

1. **Select** which attribute to use.
2. In case of scalar data (inspection, intensity, etc.), you can separate the input cloud in two ways:
  1. Per each of the existing gradient intervals (**Use gradient intervals)**
  2. By defining a custom range. This range can be set by picking points relative to each range bounds through the "**+**" buttons.
3. Click **Preview**
4. The cloud will be segmented in multiple sub-clouds
  1. Check the ones you want to keep
  2. Display them using the lightbulb
5. Selecting sub-clouds and right-clicking, you can:
  1. **Rename** the selection
  2. **Merge Selection**

> [!WARNING]
> ### Notes
> 
> - Gradient intervals can be defined through[Edit Colors](/v1/docs/cyclone-3dr-editgradientc) before entering the command.
> - The custom range slider can be initialized in several ways:
>   - If the cloud does not contain intervals, the lower slider is defined to 10% of the range, and the upper slider is defined to 90%.
>   - Otherwise, the lower slider is defined at the first peg value, and the upper slider is defined at the last peg value. Adjust the **Scalar values** range.
