CloudCompare forum

Hello,

in fact, people generally import their own data from an ASCII file (one point per line - 'x y z' coordinates in clear text). Once loaded, they can save it in 'bin' format to make smaller files and faster loading.

However, you'll find in attach such a 'bin' file.

Hello, CloudCompare (in fact CCLib) is actually used for clash detection in at least one project to my knowledge. It's an ongoing project at EDF R&D. The aim is to detect clashes between static structures (represented by triangular meshes or point clouds) and a moving object (generally represent...

Hello, indeed, there was a bug (a missing include in fact in ccGLWindow.h) in the 21st Feb. version. It has been corrected in the trunk version yesterday. I must admit that for debugging I use MS Visual Studio! This is why there's a visual project in qCC/msvc/VC9 (it's for visual 2008 only). You sho...

Ok, it works now in the last online version (23 Feb. 2011) !

Very good! You should first look how the "point picking tool" works (ccPointPropertiesDlg or ccPointListPickingDlg). I think a simple way to do it could be: Add a "ToolButton" to the camera dialog next to the camera center coordinates fields (with the "point picking" ic...

There are two types of plugins supported by CloudCOmpare right now: standard plugin (generally this is just a bridge to an existing library/algorithm developed by third-parties) OpenGL filter (this corresponds to advanced shaders that require some processing and privileged access to the rendering co...

Ah ! Indeed, interactive segmentation is limited to 'ortho' view right now in CloudCompare.

I don't remember why actually, I'll take a look asap!

Just a quick post to present a new tool in the CloudCompare family: a standalone viewer for simple and easy visualization of 3D entities. The main aim is to provide CloudCompare users with a tool that can be easily shipped with the data they have processed in order to share the results with other pe...

CCLib now depends on Qt (via the QtCore lib). We have done this in order to integrate the 'QtConcurrent' framework for parallel octree-based computation. The ' executeFunctionForAllCellsAtLevel ' and ' executeFunctionForAllCellsAtStartingLevel ' methods of the DgmOctree structure have now their equi...

Hello JF, the new version of CC (27 Jan. 2011) now includes this 'bubble view' feature (see attached image): - open your cloud - enable the 'viewer based perspective' mode (F4) - open the camera parameters dialog - the 'pivot' point in this particular mode is now the camera position - you generally ...
