Clouds & Surfaces

 

Point Clouds are unique from Points and Point Groups because they are optimized for data storage and minimum memory usage. All cloud points are treated as a rigid body so point offsets and meta data are only recorded on the cloud level not with the individual points. Point Clouds are therefore ideal for large amounts of data, such as data measured with a laser room scanner or arm scanner, but can also be used to reduce the size of scanned measurements from a laser tracker with offsets.
