Mesh Model Display

Change these settings from the viewport tab's toolbar or context menu.

Color by Textures

Textures are created automatically when you make a mesh model in PointFuse - if the relevant values are in the source point cloud.

Option	Description	Example
RGB	Red, Green and Blue are used (if present in the source point cloud), to display the mesh model in realistic color similar to an RGB point cloud, but with the much smaller file size of a mesh model.
Intensity	Displays the mesh model using intensity values (if present in the source point cloud).
No Texture	Displays a mesh model’s surfaces in a single solid color.

 

If you export a mesh model to DAE, FBX, OBJ, or SKP, you can include a texture. See Export Models and Create CSV Report.

Classification Coloring

The Mesh Model Coloring option relates to whether to show colors of classified surfaces. When classifying, it's usually easiest to display with Solid Color for classifications and No Texture. See Classified Mesh to BIM Model.

Highlight Surface

You can highlight a surface, to see its extent or when classifying surfaces: press Ctrl+Click on it. To remove the highlight, press Esc or Ctrl+Click on the background. See Classified Mesh to BIM Model.

This is also useful when measuring part of a complex model. See Measure in 3D View.
