2026 Point Cloud
-
I have been away from SketchUp for a while. I just updated to SU 2026 and there is a feature that I am not familiar with. I see a toolbar for Point Cloud, however:
-
Can someone give me good explanation of what Point Cloud is?
-
Is there a way to remove or move the toolbar for the Point Cloud?

In SketchUp, a point cloud is a collection of millions of tiny points in 3D space that represent the shape and surface of a real-world object, building, or environment.
Each point has X, Y, and Z coordinates, and sometimes color (RGB) or intensity data. Together, these points form a “cloud” that looks like a 3D model — though it’s actually just data points, not solid geometry.
I do not have that version of SU but I assume View/toolbars turn off point cloud by unchecking the box

@L-i-am Thank you sir. That is a better explanation than any of the sources I read.

Just to let everyone know, I finally got the whole issue resolved. As it turned out, all I had to do was go to the Extension Mager and uninstall the Scan Essentials plugin.
I appreciate all of the response.
