Section Planes
A new Section Plane
drop-down has been added
to the ribbon.
The initial size and
position of a section object
is based on the extents of
the visible D objects in the
drawing.

The contextual ribbon will switch to a Point
Cloud tab when a point cloud is selected.
Display
Now you can increase the point size to visual-
ly fill in gaps. Use the Level of Detail slider to
set the density for all point clouds.
Use Options
D Modeling tab to
control the maximum points displayed on the
screen for your point clouds. AutoCAD 
supports up to  million points!
Use the new Extract Section Lines tool to
generate section lines from a point cloud
(when live sectioning is on).
Use the Preview result option to make
sure you get the desired results (Create can
take some time, depending on the number of
points analyzed!).
Point clouds now support transparency
(making it easier to see your geometry).
