Point Cloud Settings

‍Settings

Point Cloud View Range

In Version 5.14.0 we made some changes to the Point Cloud Settings panel. We created 3 main point cloud quality settings that can be selected depending on the users internet connection/computer capabilities. By default, the viewer will be set to Medium Quality. The option to change the quality is contained within the side button menu.

Within the point cloud settings panel, users have the option to further refine their settings by clicking on Custom or Advanced settings. Available settings include things like view range, point size, number of points, point shape etc.

To adjust the range, move the slider to your desired position (range shown in meters). Along with the slider, you have the option of typing in a specified range into the box.

On slower connections it is recommended to reduce the value to avoid loading unnecessary points.

Point Cloud Point Size

In version 5.5.0 we added the ability to adjust the size of the points in a point cloud. Increasing the point size will allow you to fill surfaces with a low number of points.

Point Cloud Point Limit

In version 5.5.0 we added the ability to adjust the number of points that are displayed in the viewer. If you are on a slower connection you will see a notable increase in performance by limiting the amount of points shown. If you have a very fast connection, increasing the number of points will increase the quality of the point cloud.
