A point cloud is a large collection of points placed on a 3D coordinate system. The points create a 3D representation of an object or geographic feature.
AutoCAD can create 3D point clouds from the following point cloud data file types:
Index a file of one of these types to create either an ISD or PCG file in AutoCAD.
Work While Indexing a Point Cloud Data File
You can continue to use AutoCAD while your point cloud data file is being indexed. To view the status of indexing, hover the pointing device over the icon in the drawing status bar.
To cancel indexing, right-click the icon and click Cancel Indexing.
