Reducing the number of points in point cloud

Post by Skye_hie »

Hello.

I have a point cloud with many points. I want to reduce the number of points, is it possible to do that in CC? If so, how?

Thanks! :)

See the "Edit > Subsample" method.

Same coordinates as your cloud (there's no explicit units in CC). You can look at the scale in the lower right part of the 3D view to guess your cloud size...
