CloudCompare forum

Hey,
a simple question,
but I don't know how to check for the answer (except ascii ascii conversion).

Do CloudCompare preserve the order of points it reads in a file when it writes it in a file?

(for every format?)

Cool ! On windows it works seamlessly B-) On Ubuntu I don't know because latest changes on github make the code not compiling (Ubuntu 12.04, git to trunk, cmake, was compiling yesterday) (/cloudcompare/libs/qCC_glWindow/ccRenderingTools.cpp: In static member function ‘static void ccRenderingTools::D...

Hey,
I compilled from github sources on ubuntu 12.04
Same problem.
The debugger said

"
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Hey, I just tested the new import functionality with latest 2.5.4 release on windows. Sadly it crashes cloud compare :-/ With the 2.5.4 I can load and display ascii and ply files, but if I use a scalar field (or many), it crashes cc when loading the points. Something to do with qt I guess. I don't k...

Hey, I know I may have filled my quota for feature request, so here is a little (I hope !) Strangely when having several pointcloud selected it is not possible to perform subsample, yet most of the other operations are allowed (like compute octree for example.) My question is, would it be possible t...

Hey,
I saw that the importing of shapefile .shp is in feature request.

So here is a trick to emulate it :
in QGis, or using OGR : export the shapefile as dxf (autocad).

Then simply import into cloud compare !

Wow,
that's a quick fix !
Thanks very much !

I can't wait to try it and do some 20 millions point cloud rendering with many scalar fields !

My colleagues are also grateful.

Great,
I could try so many cool stuff with multiple scalar field for ply files (my ply have about 20 scalar fields).
Currently I have to convert to ascii then painfully load.

The button apply to all would be perfect!

Thank you very much,

OK,
I was thinking it was only a matter of putting right wires because the functionality already exists,
obviously I was wrong :-(

Thanks a lot,

Hey, another feature request :-) For my excuse I have been silently using this software for 2 years. It would be incredibly useful to change the ply loader in order to enable loading of multiple scalar field ! Another (cosmetic) cool change could be that when loading several file at a time (i.e when...
