POINTCLOUDRTDENSITY (System Variable)

Applies only to legacy (pre-2015) point cloud objects. Improves performance by degrading the number of points displayed while zooming, panning, or orbiting.

Type:Integer
Saved in:User-settings
Initial value:5

Enter a percentage of the maximum points per drawing (as defined by POINTCLOUDPOINTMAXLEGACY). For example, if the current maximum is 2,000,000 points, enter 1 to evenly distribute 20,000 points among all displayed legacy point clouds during zooming, panning, and orbiting.

If the value of POINTCLOUDAUTOUPDATE is 0, the value for POINTCLOUDRTDENSITY has no impact on the number of points displayed while zooming, panning, or orbiting.

if you are working with legacy (pre-2015) point clouds, set this system variable to a value less than the value of POINTCLOUDDENSITY in order to improve performance.

Note: In AutoCAD LT, you can open a drawing that contains a point cloud, but you cannot attach or edit point clouds.
