When dealing with heavy meshes/proxies inside houdini, specially when scattering, it's very important to have a decent preview of the meshes. Right now i haven't found a way to have a fast/easy to read point cloud inside Houdini, that is only read on the viewport and renders the full geometry at render time.

This should be done when loading the mesh, the current point cloud option doesn't let us specify the amount of points to preview, both in alembic and file node. Right now a 20mil mesh is previewed with 20mil+ points… when ideally we should have a threshold for example to only display 1% of the points.

Is there any solution for this issue?
