Specify Point Cloud Rendering Settings
Use the Point Cloud Rendering Settings command to specify intensity settings (brightness, contrast, and blending) for the entire point cloud (all regions) and how colors are applied to each scan point in a region rendered in color-by-elevation based on the elevation of the point.

To specify intensity settings for the entire point cloud (all regions):
- In the ribbon, select Point Clouds > Rendering > Intensity-Based Blending to specify that intensity settings overlay the entire point cloud (that is, the point luminance is blended with any true color mode).
When Intensity-Based Blending is selected, you can gain a better understanding of shapes, especially with uniform color modes.
- Select Point Cloud Rendering Settings in Point Clouds > Rendering to display the Point Cloud Rendering Settings command pane.
- Use the Intensity Settings slider controls (or enter percentage value in the fields) to specify brightness, contrast, and blending for the entire point cloud (all regions).
As you make changes, you can view the results in a graphic view.
To specify elevation colors for regions that are rendered "Color by Elevation":
- Select Point Cloud Rendering Settings in Point Clouds > Rendering to display the Point Cloud Rendering Settings command pane.
- In the Color by Elevation section, do either of the following:
- Click the Default button to specify that the origin elevation is 0.000 and the interval is 1.000 (the elevation color scale repeats at each interval; warmer colors for lower elevations and cooler colors for higher elevations). Optionally, change the Origin and/or Interval as necessary.
- Click the Auto Detect button to specify that the origin elevation is the elevation of the lowest scan point in the region and the interval is the difference between the lowest and the highest scan point (the elevation color scale does not repeat; warmer colors for lower elevations and cooler colors for higher elevations). Optionally, change the Origin and/or Interval as necessary.
