Render laz point clouds in Enscape

I work in landscape design with the combination of Sketchup Studio and drone obtained point clouds.

It would be very useful and appreciated to have an option in Enscape to render the point cloud imported into Sketchup studio that is used used to draw the model over. Some elements and designs that are new in the scene are created in Sketchup, but a lot of environment could come from the point cloud resulting from the scan of the site, making it very quick and effciient way to generate presentation renderings or walkthroughs, enhanced with a combination of 3d models and point cloud dots with their RGBvalues.

    Although we understand the value of Point Clouds and their importance with some architectural projects, supporting them in the Enscape renderer is nothing we can do without fully sacrificing the performance.
    The fact that each individual point would need to be rendered with the respective influence on shadows and ray-tracing is simply too much for us to be close enough to real-time.

    I understand that this could be against the real time rendering, but it would be enough if you could add a setting so that when you render the image you could at this moment get the preview (it doesn't need to be in real time) and if satisfied proceed with the image capture rendering the point cloud + model with its textures
