CloudCompare forum

this may sound odd but is it possible to assign a date tag to each point in a specific point cloud file such as a PTX or PTS . What we would like to do is import a point cloud file then asign a date to the pixels / nodes captured within the scan and then export this information as a PTX or RCS to pa...

Thanks, I will have a look at the FBX viewer. The point cloud i brought into CC is in meters units and i exported a STL, DXF & FBX. I found in Navisworks the point cloud, STL & DXF all overlay but the FBX was actually 100 times smaller. I scaled the file in CC by 100 then exported the FBX. T...

I have created a mesh from a PTX file using Poisson Surface Reconstruction Plugin and then have saved the mesh out as an FBX (Binary) format for use in AutoCAD & Navisworks. In AutoCAD i can not get the file to open at all. But in Navis works the file opens but apears to be 1/10th the size of th...

Thanks, with the interpolation from entity method of applying colour can photos be used? Or do you have to use another point cloud or model object?

Hi is it possible to apply the colors of a point cloud, say from a PTX, to a STL or obj file when exporting and obj or STL?
Is it also possible to export a mesh to DWG format rather than DXF?

Thanks. Uploading files now and will send you link

Thanks for the info but it still doesnt seem to do what i want.
Is there any other way to compare the distance between point clouds?
I can supply sample files if required

I have two point clouds that are very close to each other (IE 5mm). I need to do a cloud comparison and provide a heat map showing the differences between the two point clouds. I am working with .PTS files and meters units. When i do a cloud to cloud comparison i am able to show the scale bar showin...
