Point Cloud Global Properties
The Dashboard panel provides quick access to the most important point cloud properties and editing settings.
| Name | Description |
| Maximum number of points of point cloud floor plan representation | This value refers to the upper limit of how many 3D points are used when generating a 2D floor‑plan from a point cloud. The minumum number of points is 1,000 Points. |
| Maximum number of points in the point cloud in 3D | Sets the maximum number of points that can be displayed for a point cloud on 3D views. This is the strongest limit. |
| Maximum number of point cloud points per voxel | The maximum number of points per voxel sets how many points are allowed to remain inside each voxel. What is a voxel? A voxel is a 3D grid cell (the 3D equivalent of a pixel). When a point cloud is voxelized, the software divides space into small cubes and assigns points to the cube they fall into. |
| Disc space saver mode | By default the processed point cloud is continuously saved in a temporary cache file with .APC extension under the project directory. The advantage of this solution is easier portability of the project to other computers. When Disc space saver mode is active ARCHLine.XP always refers to the cache file with .APC extension alongside the original point cloud file. The advantage of this solution is that only one temporary cache file is created on the disk. |
| Point cloud: Use geolocation | A geolocated point cloud is a 3D dataset where every point has XYZ coordinates tied to a global coordinate system (e.g., WGS84). It means that each 3D point is stored with real‑world geographic coordinates (usually latitude, longitude, and elevation) Example |
Point Cloud Properties in the Dashboard Panel
The Dashboard panel provides quick access to the most important point cloud properties and editing settings.
After selecting a point cloud, the Dashboard panel displays detailed information about the object.
Displayed properties include:
General
- visibility settings,
- display options on building floors.
Data
- file path,
- Update floor plan when filter is changing,
- Active filter plane visibility,
- Number of points
Filter
- filters on or off.
- edit filter regions.
- filter step forward, backward
Color mode
- color mode selection
Enlarged point size display
- Zoom on/off.
- Point size display: reduced, enlarged
Box Dimensions
- bounding box dimensions in X/Y/Z directions.
Global Box Center
- global center coordinates of the point cloud.
