Point Size

Adjust display size of points in point cloud

Adjust the display size of the points by specifying the Point Size.

For the first-person navigation using perspective projection, you can enlarge the points for better visualization. When you select Enlarge Points, the app adjusts the size of the points based on the camera position. If you position the camera closer to the points, the points appear larger than when the camera is far away.
