# From Hexagon GeoCloud

![Convert GeoCloud Project.svg](https://cdn.document360.io/820e11db-8ed5-45ae-ac86-f6b77dcb2aa7/Images/Documentation/Convert%20GeoCloud%20Project.svg)

This command converts a Hexagon GeoCloud cloud (Read-only) to a standard cloud. Thus, you will be able to use all functions.

> [!TIP]
> ### Requirements
> 
> Load one Hexagon GeoCloud cloud, select it and launch the command (you have to be [connected to Hexagon GeoCloud](/v1/docs/cyclone-3dr-realitycloudstudioconnectionc)).

1. Set the **Maximum number of points** parameter. A selection of most representative points will be done in the Hexagon GeoCloud cloud according to this limit. Optionally disable the import of intensity.

> [!TIP]
> ### Tip & Trick
> 
> - To extract a part of a Hexagon GeoCloud cloud, you have to clip it using limit plane, slice or box functions before launching the command.
> - The bigger the cloud, the higher the bandwidth should be: as the cloud is streamed into the scene, the application must download the required points of the Hexagon GeoCloud cloud before converting them.
> - The command is also accessible from the [Contextual Menu](/v1/docs/cyclone-3dr-contextualmenu).

> [!WARNING]
> ### Notes
> 
> - If available, these attributes will also be imported: Intensity, Classification, Timestamps, scan positions (when the cloud can be displayed in color per setup).
