1 Point Cloud Rendering

Point cloud rendering supports coloring by RGB, intensity, elevation, time, file, and category.

For intensity, elevation, and time rendering modes, users can:

  • Choose different color ramps for better visualization of geometry or intensity details.

  • Drag the color ramp to adjust the display range.

  • Toggle Show/Hide Data Outside Range to hide points outside the selected range.

  • Click Restore to reset the color ramp to default settings.

True Color

Displays point cloud with real-world RGB colors.

Intensity
