Flyout for Performing Operations on Clouds of Points


	Merge Clouds Merges several clouds of points into one. See Merging Clouds of Points.
	Disassemble Data Disassembles multi-cells clouds into mono-cell ones See Disassembling Data from a Cloud of Points.
	Split Splits meshes or cloud of points in two sub-meshes or sub-clouds. See Splitting Meshes or Clouds.

Flyout for Creating Clouds


	Extract from Large Cloud Isolates a sub-part of the cloud of points, to be integrated in your design. See Extracting and Converting a Portion of a Large Point Cloud into a Regular Point Cloud.
	Cloud / Points Converts 3D points into cloud of points or clouds of points into 3D points. See Creating Clouds/Points.
	Cloud Primitives Creates a cloud of points lying on a primitive. See Creating Cloud Primitives.

Flyout for Processing Meshes


	Decimate Reduces the number of triangles of meshes to save computation time and memory. See Decimating Meshes.
	Refine Refines a polygonal mesh by splitting its triangles. See Refining Meshes.
	Optimize Redistributes and reshapes the triangles of meshes to obtain a more homogeneous mesh. See Optimizing Meshes.

Flyout for Smoothing Meshes


	Mesh Smoothing Smooths a mesh to reduce unwanted noise. See Smoothing Meshes.
	Brush Smoothing Smooths the vertices in the polygonal mesh as you brush them. See Smoothing With a Brush.

Flyout for Performing other Operations on Meshes


	Trim/Split Trims or split meshes by scans, curves, planes, surfaces or other meshes. See Splitting a Mesh.
	Merge Meshes Merges two meshes, without modifying their triangles (holes are not filled, no management of overlaps, ...). See Merging Meshes.
	Projection on Plane Projects a cloud of points or a mesh on a plane. See Projecting a Mesh on a Plane.

Flyout for Miscellaneous Commands


	Boolean Operations Performs Boolean operations on two meshes. See Performing Boolean Operations.
	Grid Modeling Deforms a mesh using a grid tool. See Modeling Using a Grid.
	Mesh Morphing Deforms a mesh locally. The deformed mesh passes through defined target points or curves. See Morphing Meshes.
