Do you mean that you want to register different scans with a small overlap? If yes, then you should look at the ICP tool (https://www.cloudcompare.org/doc/wiki/index.php/ICP). Pay attention to the 'overlap' parameter.

Wow... no it's not possible. And even by tweaking the code it wouldn't be that simple...

Ah probably not... you would have to look at the code.

Which version are you using? In older versions, the 'sensor' part of the PCD file was ignored (i.e., when the entity was transformed, the sensor was not updated). Now in the latest 2.13.x versions, it is correctly updated. So either you need to upgrade CloudCompare, or if it's the latest version, th...

That's weird... Have you tried a clean uninstall/reinstall process?

If your 4 scans are representing the same epoch, then you can simply merge them (Edit > Merge) and then use a constant altitude in the 2.5D calculation tool. Else, I'm not sure to under...

Would you be able to share the files with me? (admin@cloudcompare.org)

Have you proprely 'INSTALLED' the solution? (make install)
