There's good chances that Quick Terrain Modeler does manage properly geographic coordinate systems...
Looks like this.

The bounding-box (and more generally the entity properties) doesn't appear in this capture...

Yes, so you can see that the bounding box along X and Y is super small (<0.02) and super large along Z (> 420).

This is once again typical from a geographical coordinate system. You can try to rescale X and Y with the 'Edit > Multiply / scale' tool (by using a factor of 100 for instance for X and Y only). This should help you see how the cloud looks like.

But I think you should better convert the coordinates to a Cartesian coordinate system prior to importing it in CC.

Thank you!!! I think changing the coordinates did the trick.
