Namespace: [Grasshopper.Kernel.Types](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh1/namespace/grasshopper.kernel.types.md) · Assembly: [Grasshopper](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh1/assembly/grasshopper.md)

```cs
public class GH_PointCloud : GH_GeometricGoo<PointCloud>, IGH_BakeAwareData, IGH_PreviewData, IGH_GeometricGoo
```

Represents a point cloud.

## Constructors

- [GH_PointCloud](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh1/type/grasshopper.kernel.types.gh-pointcloud/ctor.md): (4 overloads) Default constructor, creates an invalid curve.

## Properties

- [BoundingBox](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh1/type/grasshopper.kernel.types.gh-pointcloud/boundingbox.md)
- [ClippingBox](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh1/type/grasshopper.kernel.types.gh-pointcloud/clippingbox.md)
- [IsGeometryLoaded](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh1/type/grasshopper.kernel.types.gh-pointcloud/isgeometryloaded.md): Gets the load state of this curve object. The curve is considered to be loaded when the local OnCurve instance is not null.
- [IsValid](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh1/type/grasshopper.kernel.types.gh-pointcloud/isvalid.md): Gets the validity of this curve. If the curve is referenced but cannot be loaded, the curve is not valid.
- [IsValidWhyNot](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh1/type/grasshopper.kernel.types.gh-pointcloud/isvalidwhynot.md): Gets a string describing the state of "invalidness". If the instance is valid, then this property should return Nothing or String.Empty.
- [ReferenceID](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh1/type/grasshopper.kernel.types.gh-pointcloud/referenceid.md)
- [TypeDescription](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh1/type/grasshopper.kernel.types.gh-pointcloud/typedescription.md)
- [TypeName](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh1/type/grasshopper.kernel.types.gh-pointcloud/typename.md)
- [Value](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh1/type/grasshopper.kernel.types.gh-pointcloud/value.md)

## Methods

- [BakeGeometry](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh1/type/grasshopper.kernel.types.gh-pointcloud/bakegeometry.md)
- [CastFrom](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh1/type/grasshopper.kernel.types.gh-pointcloud/castfrom.md): Remote to Local caster function. This stuff is complex, don't concern yourself with casting logic.
- [CastTo<T>](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh1/type/grasshopper.kernel.types.gh-pointcloud/castto.md): Local to Remote caster function. This stuff is complex, don't concern yourself with casting logic.
- [ClearCaches](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh1/type/grasshopper.kernel.types.gh-pointcloud/clearcaches.md): Clears all volatile caches for this instance. The boundingbox is cleared, and if the curve is referenced, the local instance of the curve is erased.
- [DrawViewportMeshes](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh1/type/grasshopper.kernel.types.gh-pointcloud/drawviewportmeshes.md)
- [DrawViewportWires](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh1/type/grasshopper.kernel.types.gh-pointcloud/drawviewportwires.md)
- [Duplicate](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh1/type/grasshopper.kernel.types.gh-pointcloud/duplicate.md)
- [DuplicateGeometry](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh1/type/grasshopper.kernel.types.gh-pointcloud/duplicategeometry.md): Create a duplicate of this curve.
- [DuplicatePointCloud](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh1/type/grasshopper.kernel.types.gh-pointcloud/duplicatepointcloud.md): Create a duplicate of this curve.
- [EmitProxy](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh1/type/grasshopper.kernel.types.gh-pointcloud/emitproxy.md)
- [GetBoundingBox](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh1/type/grasshopper.kernel.types.gh-pointcloud/getboundingbox.md)
- [LoadGeometry](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh1/type/grasshopper.kernel.types.gh-pointcloud/loadgeometry.md): (2 overloads) If the geometry is referenced and not yet loaded, attempts to load the geometry.
- [Morph](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh1/type/grasshopper.kernel.types.gh-pointcloud/morph.md)
- [Read](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh1/type/grasshopper.kernel.types.gh-pointcloud/read.md)
- [ScriptVariable](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh1/type/grasshopper.kernel.types.gh-pointcloud/scriptvariable.md)
- [ToString](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh1/type/grasshopper.kernel.types.gh-pointcloud/tostring.md): Format the curve using default grasshopper formatting logic.
- [Transform](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh1/type/grasshopper.kernel.types.gh-pointcloud/transform.md)
- [Write](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh1/type/grasshopper.kernel.types.gh-pointcloud/write.md)
