## PointCloud class

The point cloud contains no topology information but only the control points and the vertex elements.

| [parent_node](/3d/python-net/aspose.threed.entities/pointcloud/parent_node) | Gets or sets the first parent node, if set the first parent node, this entity will be detached from other parent nodes. |
| [visible](/3d/python-net/aspose.threed.entities/pointcloud/visible) | Gets or sets if the geometry is visible |
| [deformers](/3d/python-net/aspose.threed.entities/pointcloud/deformers) | Gets all deformers associated with this geometry. |
| [control_points](/3d/python-net/aspose.threed.entities/pointcloud/control_points) | Gets all control points |

| [vertex_elements](/3d/python-net/aspose.threed.entities/pointcloud/vertex_elements) | Gets all vertex elements |
| [dimension](/3d/python-net/aspose.threed.entities/pointcloud/dimension) | If a dimension value is present for the point cloud, it indicates an organized point cloud. Without a specified size, it is considered an unorganized point cloud.
<br/>Organized point cloud means it has an image-like structure. |
