Point Clouds Dialog
Used to manage the display of one or more point clouds in a DGN file view. The list box shows all the point cloud files attached to the DGN file. Selecting a point cloud file from the list adds it to the element set.

Show Hierarchy | When on, displays a tree that shows the active file and references that are directly attached to it. When the tree is turned off, you can use the arrow button next to the Show Hierarchy icon to list the active file and any references that are directly attached to it. |
Flat Mode | When Flat Mode is on and an active design is selected in the Hierarchy pane, all references attached to the active design and its nested references are listed in the right pane.
