You can create a clipping box around a point cloud or only a subset of points of the point cloud and then export the content of this clipping box as an individual point cloud.

You can also create and export an orthophoto and export it in .png format.

1. Go to the 3D view.

2. Click the icon in the toolbar.

The Export page is opened showing the point cloud in a clipping box and an Export settings section on the right side.

3. Manipulate the clipping box until it fits your requirements, see Create a Clipping Box in a Point Cloud or 3D Model.

4. Make the settings you want in the Export settings section on tabs Point cloud and/or Orthophoto.

5. Click the Export button.

The point cloud or the orthophoto will be processed and then downloaded to the standard download folder in your file system.

You can check the processing and export status in the Cloud activity form by clicking the icon.
