Coloring Point Cloud Objects

To use a predefined color profile for a point cloud object, select a Color Scale from the Object Info palette, or define the Custom color profile to color code points in the point cloud object by their Z height.

The Custom color settings can help to more precisely visualize the scanned object, to identify points above or below a defined threshold, and to select specific points for editing. The points within defined Z-height regions display in the colors specified.

Parameter	Description
Z-min/Z-max	Displays the Z heights of the lowest and highest points in the point cloud object, for reference
No. of regions	Select how many regions to color
Select height limits and colors for each region	Specify the top (end) height of each region (Region # 1 is the lowest region), and select the color for the points in that region. Region # 1 automatically begins at the Z-min height, and the highest region automatically ends at the Z-max height.
Preview	Previews the changes to the custom color ranges

After you click OK to close the Custom Color Mode dialog box, the Color Scale on the Object Info palette is automatically set to Custom, to display the specified color regions.
