### **Using the Tool**

To switch to intensity mapping, use any of the options below:

- Navigate to the **Rendering** panel and select **Intensity** in the **Color Mapping** drop-down menu.
- Type a [command line prompt](/v1/docs/cloudworx-intensity#command-line) specific to the preferred CAD system and press **ENTER**.
- Click the **Color Mapping** icon in the **Rendering** panel or type **CWCOLORMAP** at the CAD command line and press **ENTER**.
  - In the **Point Cloud Color Mapping** dialog that will appear, select **Intensity Mapping** from the **Global Color Mapping** list.

  - From the **Color Scheme** drop-down list, select either **Grayscale**, **Multi-Hue**, or a scaled individual colour with which to display the intensity map.
  - If necessary, adjust the intensity mapping range. In the **Minimum** field, enter a value for the lowest intensity to be mapped to the low end of the selected colour scheme. In the **Maximum** field, enter a value for the highest intensity to be mapped to the highest end of the selected colour scheme.

If an intensity is lower than the minimum or higher than the maximum, the colour will be assigned according to the minimum or maximum value respectively. The **Minimum** and **Maximum** settings typically range from 0 to 1. These values correspond to the range from dark to bright (from red through yellow and green to blue for the **Multi-Hue** setting). For a greater difference in shades, set a narrower range.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** If intensity data is not available, CloudWorx will attempt to use true colour data (if available) and then a single colour.
