There are several methods for creating a cloud, but all of these methods use one of two cloud creation dialogs. The most common and direct method of creating a cloud is to right-click the source data object (either another cloud, a mesh or a scan) and select Create ⇒ Cloud. This dialog operates in two different modes: multiple source mode and single source mode.
Single Source mode is typically the result of right-clicking a data object in the Point Cloud tree structure and selecting Create Cloud, this mode only allows the cloud to have the object that was selected as its source.
Multiple Source mode is only accessible by right-clicking the Clouds folder itself and selecting Add ⇒ New in the menu. In this mode, the user will see a tree structure that represents the project on the left side of the dialog.
You can toggle inclusion of any object in the project by clicking the x icons next to them to turn them green. The right side of the dialog works the same as in single source mode.
