Remarks

Each source cloud must be visible. It will then compare its own cloud-specific clipping plane configuration for clip- ping and then be tested against the view clipping plane configuration. The Cloud Thinning Control settings will be ignored and all the points included as if set to 1:1 visibility regardless of the job settings.
