 The main Objects are:
-  * **PointCloud** : A **Node**, i.e. an object that can be inserted in a GroIMP graph. The PointCloud is responsible for the display of the points by implementing **CollectionDisplayable**.
+  * **PointCloud** : A **Node**, i.e. an object that can be inserted in a GroIMP graph. The PointCloud is responsible for the display of the points. In the case of **PointCloudD** the display is managed by implementing **CollectionDisplayable**.
   * **Cloud** : The representation of the data structure through which the point cloud data is accessed.
   * **Point** : The base interface that an object must implements to be part of a Cloud. In GroIMP, points are not limited to 3 dimensions.

 The picking is also managed by the PointCloud through the DisplayHandler. By default, the Points are picked on the 3d scene, but a [[3d-guide:view_manipulations#navigate_in_the_scene|navigation mode]] enables to pick the DisplayHandler.

   * **PointCloudLeaf** ; the implementation of Point of the Cloud. PointCloudLeaf extends Node (or subclasses of Node), thus are part of the project graph.
-In GroIMP having one Node with a huge number of edges slows down the graph visiting and querying. Thus, the Cloud data is spread over several layers using IntermediateCloudNode. IntermediateCloudNode are used in order to enables the Points of a PointCloud to be rewritten with minimum modifications in the project graph. Modifications that add/remove/change edges, on Points only affect the leaves of the PointCloud graph.

 The PointCloudLeaf can extends imp3d objects to have a 3d geometry. The PointCloudLeaf objects are not limited to "point" as they can have any 3d implemented in GroIMP. However, within one Cloud all Points needs to extends the same Class. That class is defined on the Cloud creation and cannot be modified. To replace a Point of a specific class to another, a new Cloud is required.
