Subsampling

Menu: Edit / Simplify

The Simplify tool reduces the number of points in the point cloud, creating a lighter, optimized version of the project. This is useful for improving performance while maintaining essential data.

How the Simplification Process Works

• The tool retains only one point per cube of a specified Grid Size.

• Smaller Grid Size → Retains more points, preserving details.

• Larger Grid Size → Retains fewer points, reducing file size and processing load.

How to Use the Simplify Tool

1. Set the Grid Size – Define the level of simplification.

2. Choose a Project Name – Assign a name to the new simplified project.

3. Select the Project Location – Click the browse button to choose where to save the project.

4. Click “Start” to begin the simplification process.

5. Once completed, a new project will be created in the selected location.
