POINT CLOUDS (improving work with pointcloud)

[Pavel_N]

Hi, I'm creating this topic to gather ideas for further improvement of point cloud work. I'm also attaching an initial idea for a simple point cloud palette, which I take as a starting point (phase 1) for further improvement. The goal now is to make it relatively simple with the vision of implementing it in AC30. I've also added it to the wishlist, I'd be happy if you could add your vote and help improve the idea. https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Wishlist/POINT-CLOUDS-PALETTE-improving-work-with-pointcloud/idi...

I'd also like to ask the forum administrator if it would be possible to appropriately assign the topic Point Clouds (including the label), to one of the thematic areas of this forum. All the threads here are fragmented (Modeling, Documentation, Collaboration with other software,..) and no one knows where to place this specific topic. Many thanks.

I moved this to the Collaboration forum, but there is no Point Cloud label, so I am unable to set that.

Thank you. It would be nice to at least mention point clouds in the description under the forum topic Collaboration with other software, if possible.

Back to the topic of improving work with pointclouds.

I can also imagine a new palette much simpler than I propose, it could contain only a Clipping section, which would affect only pointclouds that will have it enabled in the Object setting. But most importantly, the palette must contain the last line with the absolutely key function "Turn OFF all pointcloud snapping point" so that the pointcloud can be used only as a visual basis. Millions of cloud snap points make it impossible to work on the model and only increase the risk of inaccuracy in the model. In the case of a simplified palette, the display of the pointcloud would then follow the classic procedures in Archicad as before.

I can also imagine that the function "Turn OFF all snapping point" can be implemented in the Trace reference palette. Personally, in the conceptual design phase I have DWG bases that I want to use only as a visual basis and the snap points of the base drawing are just confusing.

Thank you all for the likes, but please also vote in the wishlist: https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Wishlist/POINT-CLOUDS-PALETTE-improving-work-with-pointcloud/idi...
