## PointCloud class

The point cloud contains no topology information but only the control points and the vertex elements.

```csharp
public class PointCloud : Geometry
```

## Constructors

| Name | Description |
| --- | --- |
| [PointCloud](pointcloud/#constructor)() | Constructor of `PointCloud` |
| [PointCloud](pointcloud/#constructor_1)(string) | Constructor of `PointCloud` |

## Properties

| Name | Description |
| --- | --- |
| [CastShadows](../../aspose.threed.entities/geometry/castshadows/) { get; set; } | Gets or sets whether this geometry can cast shadow |
| [ControlPoints](../../aspose.threed.entities/geometry/controlpoints/) { get; } | Gets all control points |
| [Deformers](../../aspose.threed.entities/geometry/deformers/) { get; } | Gets all deformers associated with this geometry. |
| [Dimension](../../aspose.threed.entities/pointcloud/dimension/) { get; set; } | If a dimension value is present for the point cloud, it indicates an organized point cloud. Without a specified size, it is considered an unorganized point cloud. Organized point cloud means it has an image-like structure. |
| [Excluded](../../aspose.threed/entity/excluded/) { get; set; } | Gets or sets whether to exclude this entity during exporting. |
| virtual [Name](../../aspose.threed/a3dobject/name/) { get; set; } | Gets or sets the name. |
| [ParentNode](../../aspose.threed/entity/parentnode/) { get; set; } | Gets or sets the first parent node, if set the first parent node, this entity will be detached from other parent nodes. |
| [ParentNodes](../../aspose.threed/entity/parentnodes/) { get; } | Gets all parent nodes, an entity can be attached to multiple parent nodes for geometry instancing |
| [Properties](../../aspose.threed/a3dobject/properties/) { get; } | Gets the collection of all properties. |
| [ReceiveShadows](../../aspose.threed.entities/geometry/receiveshadows/) { get; set; } | Gets or sets whether this geometry can receive shadow. |
| [Scene](../../aspose.threed/sceneobject/scene/) { get; } | Gets the scene that this object belongs to |
| [VertexElements](../../aspose.threed.entities/geometry/vertexelements/) { get; } | Gets all vertex elements |
| [Visible](../../aspose.threed.entities/geometry/visible/) { get; set; } | Gets or sets if the geometry is visible |

## Methods

| Name | Description |
| --- | --- |
| static [FromGeometry](../../aspose.threed.entities/pointcloud/fromgeometry/#fromgeometry)(Geometry) | Create a new PointCloud instance from a geometry object |
| static [FromGeometry](../../aspose.threed.entities/pointcloud/fromgeometry/#fromgeometry_1)(Geometry, int) | Create a new point cloud instance from a geometry object. Density is the number of points per unit triangle(Unit triangle are the triangle with maximum surface area from the mesh) |
| [AddElement](../../aspose.threed.entities/geometry/addelement/)(VertexElement) | Adds an existing vertex element to current geometry |
| [CreateElement](../../aspose.threed.entities/geometry/createelement/)(VertexElementType) | Creates a vertex element with specified type and add it to the geometry. |
| [CreateElement](../../aspose.threed.entities/geometry/createelement/)(VertexElementType, MappingMode, ReferenceMode) | Creates a vertex element with specified type and add it to the geometry. |
| [CreateElementUV](../../aspose.threed.entities/geometry/createelementuv/)(TextureMapping) | Creates a [`VertexElementUV`](../vertexelementuv/) with given texture mapping type. |
| [CreateElementUV](../../aspose.threed.entities/geometry/createelementuv/)(TextureMapping, MappingMode, ReferenceMode) | Creates a [`VertexElementUV`](../vertexelementuv/) with given texture mapping type. |
| [FindProperty](../../aspose.threed/a3dobject/findproperty/)(string) | Finds the property. It can be a dynamic property (Created by CreateDynamicProperty/SetProperty) or native property(Identified by its name) |
| [GetBoundingBox](../../aspose.threed/entity/getboundingbox/)() | Gets the bounding box of current entity in its object space coordinate system. |
