Tool: Perform Normal Distance Measurements Against a Plane

Post by Guitar Quackery »

Hello,

I just started using the tool "Perform Normal Distance Measurements Against a Plane" and am quite liking it, but I have a few questions.

Is it possible to control any of the parameters of the plane, such as size, color, opacity?

Thank you.

Hum, this may have to be asked to the plugin's author directly (via the project's github page maybe? https://github.com/hvs-ait/mplane-plugin)

If there's a way to export the plane, then you could of course change all these parameters via CloudCompare. But directly via the plugin, probably not.

Thank you vey much for the link.

I did visit that page and I do have a registered profile but I can't see how I can post a question on GitHub. That is not a platform that I use so I don't know how to navigate.

There's also a small detail that I don't think works quite right with the MPlane tool that I think I should alert the developer (unless it's just me that doesn't know how to use it).

Indeed, you'll have to create a github account first (and then simply create an 'issue')
