Hi,

Is there a method that allows you to pick the exact coordinates from a point cloud using a mouse click? Are there any specific steps to be able to implement this?

Thanks

Hi @iramgelb

You can pick a point’s position using [`scene.pickPosition`](https://cesium.com/learn/cesiumjs/ref-doc/Scene.html#pickPosition).
