# Getting Started with In-Sight® 3D EasyBuilder

| Cognex In-Sight 3D EasyBuilder is a software interface for your In-Sight vision system that allows you to quickly develop complex vision applications using a step by step approach to building and deploying your machine vision applications, or "jobs". The 3D EasyBuilder can generate 2D projection images from point cloud A point cloud is a 3D structure that consists of the data points collected by a 3D vision system during acquisition. acquisitions with 3D vision systems such as the In-Sight L38, enabling the use of 3D tools such as height measurement or plane finding. The In-Sight 3D EasyBuilder provides the following functionalities: You can adjust device settings, such as the image source and the device image acquisition Acquisition is the process or result of the vision system acquiring a new image. settings. You can add tools to the job A job is a user-configured program in Spreadsheet consisting of functions and designed for specific applications. You can create and edit jobs using the Spreadsheet interface, and load them on a vision system for deployment in a live environment. such as pattern, edge finding, measurement, and ViDi EL tools.
