Point cloud aggregation is an alternative view of point cloud information. In this view, point clouds from multiple frames are combined into the current frame and adjusted for how the ego vehicle has moved in the world.

In some scenes, this is the only option to view the point cloud data. The configuration of the scene or project determines this. Otherwise, you toggle aggregation on and off using the default shortcut alt+a or the top menu item in the **View** section.

## Settings

- **Spacing **- controls the frequency of frames to include in the aggregation.
- **Number of frames **- Total number of frames that should be aggregated. The aggregation will collect this amount both forwards and backwards in time. A large number of frames may impact rendering performance.
- **Aggregate cuboids **- Toggle whether cuboids from all frames should be shown or not when aggregation is active.
