To Add Points to a Point Cloud Database

You can add more points from one or several point cloud source files or from existing point cloud databases to the point cloud object.

Note: You cannot add points if another add point or point cloud creation operation is running in the same drawing.

1. Select a point cloud or click Modify tab Ground Data panel Point Cloud Find.
2. Click Point Cloud tabModify panelAdd Points Find.
3. In the Add Points dialog box, specify the point cloud file format.
4. Click and select one or several point cloud source files. By default, only files of the specified format are visible.
5. Click Open. The files are added to the import list.
6. Click OK.

Depending on the source file size, the process may take up to several minutes. You can continue using AutoCAD Civil 3D while the new file is added to the existing point cloud. You are notified when the process is complete.
