I'm having difficulties writing out the intensity of my point cloud pts after thinning them.

I see the intensity in the XYZ input but can't see how to write it out.

Hi @akipin, if the input point cloud has "intensity" component and the destination format is Point Cloud XYZ, you can use the Point Cloud XYZ writer to write a XYZ file having "intensity" column. Set the component and column name appropriately when adding the writer, as in.

Many thanks @takashi !

It's odd how this is hidden in a parameter and not accessible like a regular user or format attribute in the writer on the workbench.
