Description

Colorizes the point cloud based on a range of colors. You can do this in the following ways:
  • Use the Point Cloud Color Map Command Context panel.
  • In the Command line.

Point Cloud Color Map command context panel

The Point Cloud Color Map command context panel is automatically displayed when running the command. You can specify color map parameters and color schemes.

  1. Color map parameters
  2. Chosen color scheme
  3. Auto Apply
Color map parameters
Allows you to set the color map parameters.
Color Stylization
Specifies the color stylization. Depending on the chosen color stylization, different setting are further available.
Scan: assigns colors based on the color data collected by the scan.
Elevation: assigns colors based on the elevation of the points using a specified color map.
Intensities: assigns colors according to their intensity value based on the specified color map.
Note: When the point cloud file does not contain any intensity data, the colors are assigned by height, regardless of the option you select.
Color Scheme
Hydro: assigns a range of colors from light blue to dark blue.
Grayscale: assigns a range of colors from light gray to dark gray.
Earth: assigns a range of colors from light brown to dark brown.
Blues: assigns a range of colors from light blue to dark blue.
Greens: assigns a range of colors from light green to dark green.
Reds: assigns a range of colors from light red to dark red.
Spectrum: assigns a range of colors based across the color spectrum.
Intensity Remap
Contains two functions to be applied to the intensities first, in order to improve the intensity contrast in the darker areas:
Gamma is a power function (the square root) of the input intensities.
Shadows is a function applied to input intensities, also to get better contrast in darker areas before mapping them to color.
Use Gradient
Specify whether to use a gradient or not:
No: no gradient is applied, the colorization of the point cloud is defined by using value intervals defined by the number of colors used in the scheme. The desired number of colors needs to be specified.
Yes: a gradient will be applied to the point cloud points.
Use Inverted
Specifies whether the order of the colors in the selected color scheme should be used inverted.
No: the order of the colors specified in the selected color scheme is used.
Yes: the inverted order of the colors specified in the selected color scheme is used.
Chosen color scheme
Allows you to edit an existing Color Scheme or to create a new one. These maps are stored in the .dwg file in a ACAD compatible way.
Number of colors
Specifies the number of colors used in the color scheme. Enter a value to change this number.
Name
Specifies the name of the color scheme.
Save
Saves the modifications made to the color scheme
Delete
Deletes the color scheme
Auto Apply
When checked, modifications are automatically applied to the point cloud.
Note: When this option is not checked, changes can be applied manually by pressing Apply.

Options within the command

The point cloud color map can also be modified through the command line. The same options are accessible as mentioned above.
