POINTCLOUDNORMALS system variable

Normal calculation

Calculates normals during point cloud preprocessing, used to identify planar (flat surfaces) such as walls and floors.

Note: Applies if the POINTCLOUDHSPC system variable is on (1).

When a point cloud is structured (in other words it has bubbles), the normal vectors will be computed automatically during preprocessing.

Structured point clouds already available in the cache in HSPC which have no normal vectors yet can be computed with the POINTCLOUDNORMALS command.
