Indeed,

Plugins don't have a direct access to most of the classes of the 'CloudCompare' executable project (contrarilly to the libraries: CC_Core_Lib, qCC_db, qCC_gl and qCC_io).

To access stuff from the main application you must use the 'ccMainAppInterface'. All standard plugins have a member 'm_app' that implements this interface.

If you miss something in this interface we can discuss whether it's a good idea to modify it or if there are other ways to achieve what you are trying to do.

Then the best way it to create your own dialog for the plugin (by duplicating most of the content of an existing one if necessary). See how other plugins (such as qPoissonRecon, qRansacSD, etc.) do this.

You can also copy the more simple 'Choose entity role' dialog (ccOrderChoiceDlg).

P.S. : this kind of very simple dialog (such as ccOrderChoiceDlg) could be put in a separate library. But it's rare that a plugin use the exact same dialog as an application (for now) so we haven't done it yet.
