# Can I move the NavVis M6  trolley when in “Pause Mode”

Yes, you can move the trolley when paused.

Note that the “[Pause Mode](https://knowledge.navvis.com/docs/mapping-functions#pausing-the-scan)” only means that the laser scans will not be added to the Point cloud. You must still move slowly because the localization is still running, localizing the trolley within the current map. We recommend you move just as slowly as when mapping is active.

Also note that the Pause Mode is not the same as Disabling Automatic Image Capturing. When [Smart Triggering](https://knowledge.navvis.com/docs/additional-system-information-1#camera-settings) is off, the 3D laser scans are still running and building the point cloud. In this case, you may of course move the trolley, but you will have to trigger the cameras manually to also capture panoramic images.

A Point Cloud is as a collection of data points in space that typically represent the external surface of an object or environment. Point clouds are used in various applications, including 3D scanning and mapping, and can be visualized and manipulated using Navvis IVION. You can perform actions such as panning, orbiting, cleaning up noise, cropping, and downloading data in formats like .e57 or .ply. The resolution of point clouds processed with NavVis Software achieves a minimum detail of 5mm, indicating the precision of the spatial data points.
