Property Description Type Required Default
name Name of pointSet word yes -
type Type name: pointSet word yes -
action Action applied on points - see below word yes -
source Source name: setToPointZone word yes -
set Name of input pointSet word yes -

Options for the action entry:

new      | Create a new pointZone from selected points of a pointSet
