Claim 11:
12. A three-dimensional data encoding device, comprising:
a processor; and
memory, wherein
using the memory, the processor:
(i) in a case where a layered structure comprising a plurality of layers is generated by selecting at least one three-dimensional point assigned to one of the plurality of layers from a plurality of three-dimensional points:
encodes attribute information for the plurality of three-dimensional points in a first order, the first order being an order determined based on the layered structure; and
generates a bitstream including an item of information used for the selecting; and

(ii) in a case where the layered structure is not generated:
encodes attribute information for the plurality of three-dimensional points in a second order; and
generates a bitstream not including the item of information used for the selecting.
