Pointcloud Task
Add Your Pointcloud Data
In this task, you will learn how to upload and manage pointcloud data in your project using the VC Publisher.
Pointclouds represent the physical world as millions of individual points, each with a 3D position — often captured through laser scanning or photogrammetry. Adding pointclouds to your map supports both detailed analysis and rich 3D visualization.
