Questions about point cloud elevation rendering

2011301610406 — Mon, 07 May 2018 06:46:04 GMT

Hi CAD people,

There are only 25 colors when rendering the point cloud in the elevation rendering mode. Whether there is a developed interface allows me to increase the color category or can use the 25 colors repeatedly. When I need more than 25 elevation intervals . Another problem is that the interval for height rendering cannot be customized. The last problem is that the result of the rendering cannot be saved. When I open the rendered point cloud for the second time, I cannot see the color information of the rendering.

HI @2011301610406,

Yes, you are correct that the color scheme for point cloud color maps is limited to 25 colors.

It might make many customers happy to have a great number as you have indicated.

You are welcome to contact the product team directly. If you have additional comments specific to the software or its functionality for future consideration, please use the Product Feedback page. How to provide feedback on Autodesk products goes into more detail.
