Point cloud files are a collection of data points that are created using a 3D scanner or photogrammetry software. They can be imported into your Twinmotion projects to represent as-built (real-world) data such as buildings or geographical areas.

Point cloud files are imported into Twinmotion as objects, and are visible in the Scene graph.
