You can move the entire volume or a single side. The Limit Box sub-object level provides a box-shaped volume that allows only portions of the point cloud inside (or outside) it to be visible. Examples of this include hiding undesirable artifacts of the reality-capture process, or elements that are irrelevant to the current project. In some cases, you might want to prevent parts of a Point Cloud object from appearing in the scene.

To use the Limit Box to hide parts of the Point Cloud object: You can also change the material and cause other objects in the scene to cast shadows on it.

Now that the Point Cloud object is present in your scene, you can transform it like any other object.

Also, you might need to increase the point size: On the Display rollout, in the Point Display group, drag the spinner to the right of the As Pixel setting upward until the points resolve into a visible object.

This changes the magnification and viewpoint in all viewports to closely fit the point cloud data.

The point cloud might be outside the viewport, so in the viewport navigation controls (bottom-right of the interface), click Zoom Extents All Selected.

If it's not readily apparent, you can try a couple of things: Tip: You can create custom point cloud files and 3D mesh objects from a series of photos with the Autodesk Recap 360 app.ģds Max displays the point cloud data in the viewport.
