Editing surface control points using Grasshopper

Just got another idea.
Deconstruct surfaces for creating the Point Cloud file which is based on 3D model. Don’t know if this is a good path.

3D model to Point Cloud file?

I’m quite curious if it’s possible to create a Point Cloud file from the complex 3D model. The aim is to send the 3D models to a cloud platform for the further visualization. Imagine if I have a list of very big 3D models in one single project, If I send the full size models to the cloud, it will be (very slow?) impossible to interact and visualize in the cloud. So I came up with this idea. If the objective is visualize the general feature of the models, point cloud could be a lot more light …
