Points clouds rendering

X-PAD Office Fusion is equipped with several commands to manage the display of scan data:

  • Change the size of the single point.

  • Set different ways of coloring the cloud.

  • Enable/disable the visualization of the different components of a point cloud.

Point size and point density

The function Point size and Point density allow to define the pixel size and the point density used to display the points cloud.

  • Click Cloud.

  • Click Point Size.

  • The drop-down menu allows to define the point size and the point density.

  • The Point size defines the pixel size to display the point cloud.

Small: point size is small.

Intensity: colors all scans with a grayscale based on the intensity of the reflectance.
White represents a high reflectance value and black is a low value.

Intensity coloured: colors all scans with a color scale depending on the intensity of the reflectance. The color assigned to the point clouds by the program is used.

By elevation: colors all scans with a color gradation based on the elevation. A fixed color scale ranging from red (high) to blue (low) is used.

By distance: colors all scans with a color gradation based on the distance from point cloud center. A fixed color
scale ranging from red (near) to blue (far) is used

View/hide point clouds components

It is possible to enable/disable the visualization of different points clouds components.

  • Points image-20250131-094858.png : shows/hides points from the points clouds.

  • Setups image-20250131-094938.png : shows/hides the setup symbols.

  • Pano images image-20250131-095009.png : shows/hides panoramic images when Panorama visualization mode is enabled.

  • Center marker image-20250131-095055.png : shows/hides marker in the center of points clouds. The marker can be used to select the points clouds in editing commands.

  • Bounding box image-20250131-095156.png : shows/hides the points clouds bounding box. The box can be used to select the points clouds in editing commands.
