Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) offers a promising alternative by reducing both adaptation cost and storage burden. However, existing prompting-based approaches ignore the intrinsic geometric structures of point clouds, thereby limiting their adaptation capability. This limitation stems from their inability to encode both fine-grained geometric cues and coarse-grained structural semantics, as well as failing to propagate such information effectively through the model hierarchy. To address these challenges, we propose GAPrompt++, a multi-granular geometry-aware prompting method that provides richer geometric guidance for efficient 3D task adaptation. Specifically, we introduce a Point Shift Prompter that extracts multi-granular geometric features across different scales, enabling instance-specific geometric adjustments during adaptation. Next, a Keypoint Prompter adaptively generates point-level prompts to highlight local geometric saliency and fine-grained structural details. Furthermore, a Prompt Propagation mechanism injects these multi-granular geometric cues throughout the feature extraction hierarchy, strengthening the ability to capture essential geometric characteristics. Extensive experiments show that GAPrompt++ achieves state-of-the-art performance among prompting-based PEFT methods and even surpasses full fine-tuning across diverse benchmarks, while requiring less than 2\\% trainable parameters. In addition, to address the saturation of existing evaluation datasets, we construct two more challenging benchmarks derived from 3D Gaussian Splatting and Multi-View Stereo reconstruction, offering diverse and realistic point cloud scenarios to promote future research.","short_abstract":"Pre-trained 3D vision models have substantially advanced point cloud analysis, yet adapting them to downstream tasks via full fine-tuning is computationally expensive and storage-intensive.
