Creating a Cloud

There are several methods for creating a new 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-mouse click the source data object (either another Cloud, a TIN 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.
Enter name for the new cloud.

 

Click the Green Tick to create the new Cloud. The new Cloud will be displayed under the Clouds sub-menu in the Current Project tree.
