This setting will override the Point Cloud or Comparison modes. A mesh may not be available for the asset.

This setting can be combined with any other visualization mode. > [!NOTE] > If the asset has no mesh, Dollhouse mode cannot be activated. | ![RCS__DH_Mesh_Off.jpg](https://cdn.document360.io/820e11db-8ed5-45ae-ac86-f6b77dcb2aa7/Images/Documentation/RCS__DH_Mesh_Off.jpg) Dollhouse off ![RCS__DH_Mesh_On.jpg](https://cdn.document360.io/820e11db-8ed5-45ae-ac86-f6b77dcb2aa7/Images/Documentation/RCS__DH_Mesh_On.jpg) Dollhouse on |
