In the **main view** and **top view,** you can slice the point cloud vertically.

Hold `Ctrl` and `scroll` to adjust the max slicing value. Hold `Ctrl` and `Shift` while `scrolling` to adjust the min slicing value. For smaller, more precise adjustments, hold `Alt` while `scrolling`.

You can also change the vertical point cloud slicing from the top menu. Select Window -> Point cloud slicing... to open the Point Cloud Slicing settings.

In **grid view** and the **back** and **right** **side cameras, **you can also slice the point cloud in the direction that each camera is looking in. Similarly to the main view and top camera, holding `ctrl` and `scroll` allows you to place the camera further away or closer to the object. Hold down `alt` for a slower slicing in these cameras.
