Manual Refresh

When navigating the point cloud in EdgeWise, points in the active view will be refreshed automatically. For larger point clouds, or slower computers, this can cause low frame rates and slow rendering.

Checking the Manual Refresh option can speed these processes by waiting for user input before refreshing the points, instead of doing so automatically.

This option dramatically speeds up the navigation, making it instantaneous. However, it does require manually refreshing the points periodically – either by clicking the Refresh Points button in the Model tab or by pressing its hotkey, Enter.
