This command creates a textured mesh from a cloud by segmenting in boxes.

> [!TIP]
> ### Requirements
> 
> Select a cloud or a CloudWorx cloud and launch the command.

1. Select the scanner type used for your scan. According to the scanner type, some predefined settings will be chosen:
  1. **BLK2GO**
  2. **BLKARC**
  3. **BLK2FLY**
  4. **BLK360**
  5. **TRK-series**
  6. **UAV**
  7. **RTC360**
  8. **P-series**
  9. **Custom**: edit parameters according to your needs.
2. Activate the **Evaluation mode** to sample a cube of the cloud with your current settings. Then you can modify the settings to find the best ones.
3. Choose either **Default** or **Advanced Settings** to display all the settings.
  1. In both modes, you can choose to **Ignore scanning directions** if your cloud has some.
  2. In **Advanced Settings** you can choose between three levels of details: Low, Medium, High.
  3. In **Advanced Settings** you can choose to **Create textured mesh** to texture with the real color of the cloud.
  4. In **Advanced Settings** (or Custom mode), you can **Edit**:
    1. the **Box size** to mesh smaller or bigger boxes.
    2. the **Average distance** between points.
    3. the **Minimum triangle size** of the mesh.
    4. the **Pixel size** to define the texture resolution.

> [!WARNING]
> ### Notes
> 
> - Boxes are computed so as to overlap each other, thus avoiding gaps between boxes.
> - Only unclipped points will be meshed.

> [!TIP]
> ### Tips & Tricks
> 
> While in Evaluation mode, use CTRL while scrolling to edit the size of the box.
