Point Cloud Setup

Point Cloud comes with 2 point cloud engines; Carlson and 3DTK. Point cloud setup allows the user to choose which point cloud engine to use. The table found in the Cloud documentation shows the different formats each engine supports.

Carlson: With the Carlson Point Cloud engine you can work with clouds up to 10-20 million points depending on your system.

3DTK: With the 3DTK Point Cloud engine you can work with clouds that have hundreds of millions of points.

Activate Old Engine: this can only be performed if a valid 2015 Serial Number is entered in to activate the Pointools Point Cloud Engine. Note - this is only available for clients who have saved projects using this point cloud engine. Using the Carlson or 3DTK engine is recommended.
