The Color Source is the layer or Data View that defines the color values (i.e., RGB Values) to display points. Any layer type such as an image, feature class, or custom layer can be used as a color source.

How to Select a Color Source

Color Source box

1. Open the Profile Display Properties (Profile Window) (Profile View group on the Map Tab in the ribbon) and 3D and Immersive Viewer Properties (3D Window)  (3D View group on the Map Tab in the ribbon).
2. Select the 'Symbology' tab and the 'GIS Fusion' tab within it.
3. Select the down arrow on the 'Color Source' box.
4. Select a layer to use colors from or select the Data View option to use the current map's color values.

Tip When using the Data View option, make sure the current map/data view is not obstructed by any other windows.   If using a color source such as buildings or imagery that has a coordinate system that differs from the LIDAR data, the color source and the LIDAR data must be assigned their respective coordinate systems.
