  1. Set Maximum number of points parameter. A selection of most representative points will be done in the CloudWorx cloud according to this limit. For IMP data, the number of kept points should be lower (half of requested points) and the maximum is about 50 million.

  2. Note that if you have an active limit plane, only unclipped points will be converted. In this case, a dedicated message will be displayed.

  3. If the conversion takes a lot of memory, a dedicated message will indicate the amount of required memory and the current amount of free memory.

  4. Click on Preview to display the extracted cloud.

  5. Click OK to validate.
