# Voxel Point Cloud (Processed)

A **Voxel Point Cloud** entity transforms a collection of spherical point cloud captures—often from mobile or static LiDAR devices—into a unified, volumetric voxel model. This format is ideal for analyzing spatial density and structure within 3D environments.

Transform spherical point cloud captures into a single volumetric voxel model, useful for dense interior or tunnel scans.  
→ *Enables volume-based analysis and structure identification.*

**Uploading the Data**

- Click **“Choose Files”** to upload your point cloud data.
- Each file must be a **comma-separated list of XYZ values**, where:
- The **first entry** in the file represents the location of the scanning device
- All **subsequent entries** are points captured from that location


You may select and upload **multiple files** in a single batch.

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" id="bkmrk--2" style="text-align: center;">---

</div>**Finalizing the Upload**

Click **“Create”** to start the voxelization and upload process.  
You can monitor progress in the **“Pending”** section of the project interface.

Once complete, the voxel model will be available for viewing and integration within your project.
