-
-If you disable the "Load all PLY data" option before loading the file, then the PLY data not required by the editor is excluded (for example the spherical harmonic data). This can save on browser memory.
-
-## Editing Scenes
-
-Once a PLY file is loaded, you will see it appear in the SCENE MANAGER panel. Use this panel to hide splats, remove them from the scene, orientate them and select the current splat for editing.

-The SPLAT DATA panel plots various scene properties on a histogram display. You can select splats directly by dragging on the histogram view. Use the Shift key to add to the current selection and Ctrl key to remove from the current selection.
