These control how point clouds are rendered in LumiDB—including color mode, point size, and level of detail. ### Color mode Choose how points are colored: * **RGB:** Uses the dataset’s original color values * **Classification:** Colors points based on class (e.g., ground, buildings, vegetation) * **Intensity:** Based on the sensor’s return intensity * **Point source ID:** Highlights points by scan line * **File:** Colors points based on the original file * **Dataset:** Colors points by dataset when multiple are visible * **Extra data / Picking:** Internal modes not required for normal use ### Point size Controls how large individual points appear. Larger points help interpret sparse data; smaller points preserve detail in dense datasets. ### Level of detail Adjusts rendering quality, performance, and memory usage: * **Low:** Optimized for speed and minimal memory * **Medium:** Balanced for most use cases * **High:** Full resolution with higher GPU and memory demands Choose a setting that fits your hardware and analysis needs.
