Point Cloud Size editable for View & Collaborate users
When I change the point cloud size under visual effects it applies to all project users. It has come to my attention that general users to not have access to change this. Can we suggest adding 'Edit Point cloud Size' as a tick box in the edit roles list? We have varying point cloud files within the project, containing varying densities of data, and so users need to view some sets of data at a particular size, and others at a very different size.

The Visual Effects option is only available to those designated as Project administrator and Point size is a global project setting.
Having more people change this visual setting could cause problems for other users. You might be in the same situation as you describe.
What has been proposed is to make the Point Size setting a personal preference rather than a global setting. In this way everyone can view the points in a way that works for them without impacting other users.
Is this something that would help your situation?

A suggestion here is to not remove the ability to globally edit the pointcloud size for the project. Instead allow individuals to change their own size personally that would override the global setting, just for that user.
It would enable project admins to still retain control for the overall project but allow individuals to modify their own view if needed.
There is many reasons why this would be beneficial for the user, on some drone pointclouds which are not as dense as terrestrial laser scan pointclouds I've modified the point size to make them bigger when I was reviewing a particular object. If this was saved as the global setting it would be difficult for the end user to view the pointcloud, however they may want to do the same size modification when they are reviewing.
