These settings enable you to fine-tune and customize the 3D display and navigation. You can tailor the display parameters according to your preferences to get a better visualization of the live point cloud.

General
Setting | Description |
|---|---|
Enable light mode | Changes the color profile of the app to use lighter colors for backgrounds, text, and other interface elements. This helps you see the display better in well-lit environments. |
Enable dynamic optimization | Temporarily turns off animations and similar features when rendering the point cloud image when the tablet is under high load. |
Enable grids | Overlays a grid pattern on the 3D View. This grid helps in several ways during the mapping process: |
Clipping Planes
Setting | Description |
|---|---|
Camera clip plane position | Sets the distance or position from the robot or viewer's perspective at which the point cloud data is rendered. Adjusting this setting determines how far or near the point cloud data is visible in the 3D Display. |
Enable height clip plane | Enables you to remove points from the point cloud above the configured height clip plane. This is particularly useful for visualizing and understanding floor plans, by hiding the excess clutter of ceilings or multiple stories. To remove the points that fall within the configured height clip plane, select the corresponding Invert option. |
Position | Sets the distance (in meters) of the height clip plane. |
Enable front clip plane | Enables you to remove points from the point cloud that are beyond the configured front clip plane. This is useful if you want to look through a wall. To remove the points that fall within the configured front clip plane, select the corresponding Invert option. |
Position | Sets the distance (in meters) of the front clip plane. |
Enable side clip plane | Enables you to remove points from the point cloud beyond the configured side clip plane. This is useful if you want to look at a cross-section of your point cloud. To remove the points that fall within the configured side clip plane, select the corresponding Invert option. |
Position | Sets the distance (in meters) of the side clip plane. |
Points
Setting | Description |
|---|---|
Point size | Controls the size of each point in your point cloud. Increasing the point size can make the points more visible and help highlight the structure and details in the point cloud. Decreasing the point size can reduce visual clutter, especially in dense point clouds, and provide a smoother overall display. The maximum point size is 15. |
Enable point opacity | Allows you to set the opacity of the individual points in a point cloud. When the toggle button is enabled, the configured opacity level is applied to the point cloud. When the toggle button is disabled, the points are displayed with their default opacity. |
Opacity level | Controls the transparency or visibility of the individual points in the point cloud. This determines how much of the underlying image or terrain is visible through the points. |
Enable point size attenuation | Allows you to set the point cloud attenuation. When the toggle button is enabled, the configured attenuation level is applied to the point cloud. When the toggle button is disabled, the points are displayed with their default attenuation. |
Attenuation level | Controls how the size of the individual points in a point cloud changes based on their distance from the viewer or the camera perspective. This can help draw attention to objects or areas of interest that are closer to the viewer and require more detailed examination. |
Point Coloring
Setting | Description |
|---|---|
Gradient selector | Use the left and right arrows to select from several predefined color gradients. |
Calculated height range | Automatically applies/spreads the selected color gradient across the entire vertical range of the point cloud. |
Custom height range | Manually override/narrow the vertical range over which the selected color gradient is applied. |
Camera
Setting | Description |
|---|---|
Field of view | Defines the range of visibility from your perspective. A wider field of view allows a larger portion of the point cloud to be displayed, providing a broader context of the surrounding area. A narrower field of view focuses on a smaller region on the point cloud, emphasizing more detailed information. |
Rotation sensitivity | Controls how fast the camera rotates when the perspective camera is rotated. Specify a higher setting if you are comfortable and proficient in rotating the camera quickly, or use a lower setting to have more control. |
Pan Sensitivity | Controls the responsiveness of the camera to panning movements. A higher setting enables quick and broad pans across the point cloud, while a lower setting gives you finer control and allows you to make more precise adjustments when moving the camera horizontally or vertically. |
Zoom Sensitivity | Determines the rate at which you can zoom in and out of the point cloud. Increasing this setting makes zooming faster, decreasing the setting makes zooming more gradual. |
Eye Dome lighting
Setting | Description |
|---|---|
Enable eye dome lighting | Allows you to accentuate the shape of objects in the point cloud by applying shading to their contours, which enhances depth perception. |
Strength | Controls the intensity of the effect. A large value will give you a stronger depth perception. |
Radius | Controls the width of the lighting effect. |
Robot
Setting | Description |
|---|---|
Enable history path | Displays a visual trace of the robot's past trajectory (previous paths) within the 3D view. |
