Hey Dennis, If you want to filter your LIDAR tiles you can create your lidar surface. Once you create your surface you can highlight the surface in prospector and right click to expand and display the options. Highlight Edits and right click to extend the options. After doing this select Simplify surface. There you have three options. I Usually select Simplify Methods and then pick point removal. Then  click Region Options and I do Use existing surface border. Then typically I choose Reduction Options and select Percentage of points to remove: then select what percentage you are trying to filter out. You choose Apply and the percentage you selected will be removed.  You will see the different choices as you go through this process and you can choose different ones to suit your needs.  I hope this is the information you were looking for.
Best,
David
