Selecting a point by specifying an index number

Post by techno »

Hi,
I use CloudCompare to import PCD data and evaluate point clouds,
but sometimes I can't find the desired point in the 3D view even using the point picking function.
I know the index number of the desired point, but is there a way to specify the index number and confirm the corresponding point in the 3D view?

Thanks

There's no way to select a point based on its index at the moment. But you can generate the 'point index' scalar field (Edit > Scalar fields > Add point indexes SF'), and then user the scalar field min/max displayed values, or the ''Edit > Scalar field > Filter by value' to isolate this point.
