Points Tab (Point Cloud Style Dialog Box)

Specify the size, number, and color of the point cloud points.

Point Size

Size in Pixels

Specifies point cloud point size in pixels.

Color

Assign Color By

Specifies the color scheme for the point cloud points:

  • True Color (RGB) - displays the points using the RGB color model values if this data exist in the source file.
    Note: If no RGB values are assigned, the Single Color property is used.
  • Classification - displays the points using the properties specified on the Classification page.
  • Grayscale Intensity - displays the points using the grayscale color model intensity values if this data exist in the source file. When you use this option, you can apply the Intensity Range Minimum and Maximum values.
  • Scaled Color Intensity - displays the points using the scaled color scheme intensity values if this data exist in the source file. When you select this option, you can apply the Intensity Range Minimum/Maximum values.
  • Elevation Ranges - displays the points within the specified Elevation Ranges color scheme properties.
  • Single Color - displays all the point cloud points in a single color that is specified in the Single Color property. This color option is used by default if the point color data is not specified in the point cloud database.
Scaled Color Intensity Scheme

Specifies the scaled color scheme options.

Intensity Range Minimum/Intensity Range Maximum

Specify the highest and the lowest values of the color saturation range (from the darkest to the brightest color).

The values are expressed as percentage and are entered in the range from 0.0 and 1.0, where 0.0 is 0% intensity and 1.0 is 100% intensity. For example, if you set the Intensity Range Maximum value to 0.9 points with intensity in the top 10% are not displayed.

Tip:

For a greater difference in shades, specify a narrower range.

Single Color

Specifies the color to used when the Assign Color By property value is set to Single Color. This color option is used by default if the point color data is not specified in the point cloud database.

Elevation Ranges

Create Ranges By

Specifies the method to create the number of elevation ranges:

  • Number of Ranges - enables the Number of Ranges property. This option divides the point cloud display into the specified number of ranges from the minimum to the maximum point elevation value.
  • Range Interval - enables the Range Interval property.
Range Color Scheme

Specifies the default color scheme for elevation ranges assigned in the point cloud object properties.

Number of Ranges

Specifies the default number of elevation ranges that are created for a new point cloud that references this style.

Range Interval

Specifies the elevation range interval. The value must be greater than zero.

3D Geometry

Scale Factor

Specifies the value by which all point cloud point elevations are scaled. It must be greater than 0.

Point Elevation

Specifies the z-value applied to all point cloud points if the Flatten Points To Elevation value is selected as Point Display Mode.

Point Display Mode

Specifies the 3D view elevation properties of point cloud points:

  • Use Point Elevation - displays point cloud point elevations at their current values. This is the default setting.
  • Flatten Points to Elevation - flattens all point cloud point elevations to a specified value.
  • Exaggerate Points by Scale Factor - scales all point cloud point elevations up to a specified value.
