See the -CROP option of the command line: http://www.cloudcompare.org/doc/wiki/in ... _line_mode

And you also have the more evolved -CROSS_SECTION option (if you want to extract multiple sections / boxes at a time)

Nope. Appart if you hack the code of course ;)

Yep, don't use filenames with spaces, that's rarely a good idea ;)

In effect, in your command line, use quotes to capture the whole filename: "Chatham Station internal.e57".

Oh sorry I misunderstood. Then no, this option is not available with the GUI version.

There are also a lot of discussions about this topic on the forum ;)

Oops, you are right, the -EXTRACT_VERTICES option is not accessible in the current 2.10.1 version! It's a bug... As a reward, I modified the C2M_DIST command so that it can work with 2 meshes (in which case CC will consider the first mesh vertices as the compared cloud). I updated the repository. Ca...

The 'geologic' definition of the dip angle is that it's always pointing upwards (this is why it's always positive...). I don't see any simple "trick" in the current version of CC to invert the sign of the dip angle... the only solution would be to hack the code where the dip is computed (a...

Not sure what you are requiring here (which setting you want to change/add). Can you explain us a little bit more? You can also do it by email to myself (admin [at] cloudcompare.org) and to the author of M3C2 (Dimitri Lague: https://geosciences.univ-rennes1.fr/int ... itri-lague).

Well, you can indeed ignore all scalar fields (or the normals columns) when loading the file.

But you can also delete them afterwards (with 'Edit > Scalar fields > Delete all' and 'Edit > Normals > Clear').

Well, frankly this is a difficult task!

I clearly understand the need, but I doubt anyone in the team has time/money to undertake such a work. As always, the ideal option would be to find a motivated developer that could actually do this work (PhD student, etc.).
