CloudCompare forum

Thanks Daniel. I'll try the ALPHA version.
Question - Can 2 versions of CloudCompare co-exist together? (ei) A stable production version and the Alpha/Beta version?
Lol... Yeah - I should just "try" it... :)

How does one ZOOM IN on a location on a point cloud? My point Clouds are now 300+ million points and zooming in with the scroll wheel is 'painful'. Worked fine until the point clouds got this huge. Initially, I was expecting to create a rectangle on a section of the point cloud like in a CAD program...

Hi All, I'm having a problem with Point Picking when using "Point List Picking" or "Trace a Polyline by Point Picking". But I am NOT having problems selecting single points when using "Point Picking". Seems that when I try to create a list or a polyline from points, it ...

Hi Daniel, Would it be possible to add an ASCII EXPORT option to export only ASCII "XYZ" variables? This is for import into software that only uses those 3 variables (like Engineering software). With the current ASCII Export, I have to take the output file, break it into smaller files that...

I think the EXPORT option works on only one cloud at a time (as I do not think there is a provision in the exporter to do multiple export instances). This had me stymied for a while as well. The way I solved it is that I made copies of the clouds, and then joined all the copies into one overall clou...

Works in 2.12.beta. Great. Problem solved.
Thanks Daniel.

Works in 11.0, but not in 11.3.
Read in a 1.3/1.4 LAZ file, and tried saving as earlier version of LAS (for old software usage). Received these 2 ERROR dialogs: Doing the same works perfectly in 11.0.

Hi Daniel, The LAS Point Clouds I'm looking at are Classified - I can see the classifications as different colours. What I'm trying to figure out, is how to limit my import of the LAS to a specific classification, or how to segregate it to a single classification after the whole cloud is imported. I...

To export such a classification result, you should use the exact same values as the LAS standard: (see http://www.asprs.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/LAS_1_3_r11.pdf ) Here are the main values: 0 Created, never classified 1 Unclassified ( equivalent to 0 in fact ) 2 Ground 3 Low Vegetation 4 Mediu...

Belated THANKS Daniel, but what I was after was:
File=> Save => Select file format to 'Save As'...
