Subject: Attaching a point cloud underlay

A point cloud is a set of 3D points that represents the surface of an entity in three dimensions. Point cloud files are typically created by 3D-scanners.

Attaching a point cloud file (.pcg, .rcp, or .rcs file) is similar to attaching an image file.

•   Type pointcloudattach and then press Enter.

   2   Choose the .pcg, .rcp, or .rcs file you want to attach.

   3   Click Open.

   4   In the Attach Point Cloud dialog box, select an insertion point.

   5   Enter the scale in which to insert the point cloud file.

   6   Enter the rotation to use for the insertion.

   7   If you want to lock the point cloud so it cannot be moved or rotated after insertion, mark Lock Point Cloud.
