We have a lot of Navvis point clouds - often with literally thousands of images.
It would be great to be able to load an e57 and have the option to load without images (both in the UI and in the CLI ;) ). RECAP does this and it is incredibly useful.

We receive these from various clients and are ...

Jumping on this thread - when you do the -GLOBAL_SHIFT AUTO does it revert the coordinates back to what they were on export/save in the CLI?

eg if I were to use the exaxmple:

"C:\Program Files\CloudCompare\cloudcompare.exe" -O -GLOBAL_SHIFT AUTO "input.e57" -C_EXPORT_FMT E57 -SAVE_CLOUDS FILE ...

aware this is now 2 years old, however my issue has resurfaced!
I am currently adding a header in to the .pts files, however some of them are 160GB+ so you can imagine the processing times on these is horrendous.

Would still love to be able to use the CLI to open a pointcloud but dictate its format ...

Oh, so I did a mistake, it was '//' instead of '#'.

But you are right, having a command line method to rename a scalar field would probably be the simplest solution in the end.

@Chris: the issue with auto assigning a scalar field to 'Intensity' is that LAS files have some expectations regarding ...

Hi there, have a point cloud with RGB values and normals. I was wanting to convert the normals to HSV through: Edit > Normals > Convert to > HSV colors. When I do this, the original RGB values are replaced.

What I was wondering was if there was a way to keep the original RGB colours, AND have the ...

ahh oh well, slightly frustrating. I guess I'll open each point cloud, save it in another format and then carry out the CLI after that.

Thanks for your help, +1 to add a -FORMAT command so you can do things like -FORMAT XYZSRGB for ascii point clouds!

Not sure if I am missing something here..

Trying to use the CLI to open a point cloud, do some noise filtering and subsampling, generate normals then save it.
The point cloud input is a .pts file in XYZsRGB format, however I cant seem to find the option of selecting this through the CLI... it seems ...
