- Lighting follows the view: the default source is a key light from the
upper left and a fill light from the lower right over an ambient term,
the other source one light from above; POINTCLOUDLIGHTING 1 lights the
front faces, 2 both.
- A selected or hovered point cloud shows its extents box.
- A move-gizmo arrow can be grabbed along its shaft; the grab offset is
taken on the press, so click-and-place and typed distances start from
the insertion point.

Points carry their world normal: POINTCLOUDLIGHTING lights them in the
shaded visual styles (1 lit from both sides, 2 with back faces dark),
from the view (POINTCLOUDLIGHTSOURCE 0) or the default lights (1).
The 2D wireframe style draws no cloud points: a found cloud shows its
extents and "Point clouds are not displayed in 2D visual style.",
or nothing with POINTCLOUD2DVSDISPLAY 1. While the view moves only
POINTCLOUDRTDENSITY per cent of the points are drawn; the points are
stored in an order where every leading part samples the whole cloud.
The colour map dialog lists its schemes by name.

Scans (.rcs) and projects (.rcp) are read and their points drawn as
screen-sized dots, coloured by the cloud's stylization. The cloud's
placement carries its scale and rotation; its extents and crops stay in
the scan's coordinates. A missing scan shows the extents with the saved
path. -POINTCLOUDATTACH / POINTCLOUDATTACH, POINTCLOUDCROP and the
POINTCLOUD* settings follow the reference's prompts and messages, the
Properties list is the reference's, and a locked cloud is left alone by
edits.
