What do you mean: do you want to develop a new plugin or do you want to debug it?

If it's about development, look at the document at the project root (designing_a_new_qCC_plugin.rtf). There's also some posts on the forum that can help.

Otherwise... you should seek information on how to use a debugger (either Visual's one or gdb on Linux). But that's not the best place to start ;)

Not sure I understand what you mean by "debug" here. Is your plugin already developed?

Otherwise, the number of points that can be stored only depends on your memory capacity (max 90 M. per Gb). You can then display all of them... but even with a high end graphic card, don't expect to keep a good framerate over 200 M..

Well I guess you could get more information on a Visual Studio forum:

With Visual you have to set the default startup project. Right click on the 'CloudCompare' project and set it as 'Startup project' ('Définir comme projet de démarrage' en français).

But be sure to 'compile' the install project anyway and set the default executable of the 'CloudCompare' project as the installed one.
