View and navigate in the 3D interface
Hold the hotkey (
Ctrl/cmd
by default) and click and drag, or simply click and drag the right mouse button.- Use the keyboard navigation (by default:
w
to move forward,a
to move left,s
to move backward,d
to move right,Shift + W
to move up,Shift + S
to move down).
Hold the hotkey (
Shift
by default) and click and drag.To zoom in or out, scroll using the mouse wheel, or double-click in the viewer.
- 1.Select the object.
- 2.Press the hotkey (
t
by default).
When you pan the camera, the camera moves along the ground plane by default. If you disable map panning, the camera instead pans along the camera plane (i.e. moving the mouse up moves the point cloud up as well).
To toggle map panning, click on the map icon in the toolbar on the right.
- The rotation point is initialized at the center of the point cloud.
- You can manually set the rotation point by middle-clicking on any point of the point cloud. The changed rotation point will then be visible for a short time.
- 1.Hover over the object you want to hide/show in the objects sidebar.
- 2.Press the eye icon.
Press the hotkey (
h
by default).Press the hotkey (
Ctrl/cmd + b
by default).Press the hotkey (
Ctrl/cmd + i
by default).Click on the camera icon in the toolbar on the right, or press the hotkey (
v
by default). This feature is only available in the 3D point cloud cuboid and vector interface.
Gradient coloring allows you to view your point cloud more clearly. Gradient coloring can be used to visualize the height of each point, or the intensity value of each point.
- 1.Hover over the sun icon in the toolbar on the right.
- 2.Check the "Gradient coloring" checkbox.
- 3.Choose "Height" in the "Gradient attribute" dropdown.
- 4.Optional: Choose a gradient by clicking on the gradient and selecting one from the list. You can also reverse the gradient by checking the box under "Reverse".

- 4.Choose "Height" in the "Gradient attribute" dropdown.
- 5.Optional: Choose a gradient by clicking on the gradient and selecting one from the list. You can also reverse the gradient by checking the box under "Reverse".
- 1.Click/hover over the dot icon in the toolbar on the right.
- 2.Drag the slider to adjust the point size.
If you are labeling a point cloud with a large number of points (> 500K) and you notice lag when navigating around the point cloud, you can choose to change the point budget. The point budget controls the maximum number of points that are displayed. If the point cloud contains more points than the point budget, the point cloud will be randomly subsampled to limit the number of points.
- 1.Click/hover over the dot icon in the toolbar on the right.
- 2.Enter the maximum amount of points in the point budget input box. If you want to remove the point budget, simply remove the value in the input box.
This feature is only available in the 3D point cloud cuboid interface.
- 1.Click/hover over the tachometer icon in the toolbar on the right.
- 2.Drag the slider to adjust the key pan speed, i.e. the speed the camera moves when using keyboard navigation.
- 1.Click the dropdown in the top right corner of the side view.
- 2.Select the new view you want to change to.
This feature is only available in the 3D point cloud segmentation interface.
