# Color from Scanner / Intensity Mapping / Greyscale

## Function

Provide you convenient switching among most frequently used point cloud color mapping modes. This command will not change the color mapping parameters such as intensity mapping range.

## Procedure

**Intensity Mapping**- Click this icon to use intensity mapped colors to display points.

**Color from Scanner**- Click this icon to display points with colors from scanner when color data is available.

1. Click on the icon or type **CWCOLORMODE** at the CAD command line and press **Enter**.
2. Select point color mapping mode:
  - Select Intensity (hue) to display all point clouds with intensity-mapped colors. If intensity data is not available, IMS Map360 attempts to use true color data (if available), then a single color.
  - Or select Rgb (scanner) to display all point clouds with true color mapped into the CAD palette. If true color data is not present (It must be scanned with a calibrated scanner.) for a point cloud, the point cloud will instead use intensity data (if available), then a single color.
  - Or select Grayscale to display all point clouds with intensity-mapped colors. If intensity data is not available, IMS Map360 attempts to use true color data (if available), then a single color.
