Do not see icon for chaging point size

Post by Patribus »

Hello,

I'm new here, so I apologize, if this questions has been made already, but I do not find it in the forum, so:

I loaded a point cloud into CC (via file format .obj and/or .ply) and now I want to change the point size of my cloud. However, I do not find the icon where it should be.

Why? What is the conditions for this icon to appear?

Thanks,
Cheers

Well, first you can hover the mouse in the top-left area of the 3D view: you'll see a 'default point size + -' message appear. You can click on the '+' and '-' parts to make all the points displayed in the view bigger or smaller.

Otherwise you can set the ''Point size' property of a single cloud (you'll have to select the cloud to enable its properties dialog).

Is there a posibility to as well export the point cloud with an increased point size to an .las file? Because when increasing the point size via the properties and then save it to .las the point size remains the same when I open the file in another programm (unity).

thanks in advance!

cheers

Point size is not retained by LAS files (or any other file format other than CC's BIN format)
