OBJ Texture Disappears After Removing a Cross Section
Posted: Wed Sep 16, 2026 1:54 am
Hello,
I would like to report a possible bug related to OBJ textures when using the Cross Section tool.
The issue can be reproduced as follows:
1. Open an `example.obj` file that has a texture.
2. Use the **Cross Section** tool to cut the model and create a section.
3. If I am not satisfied with the resulting section and remove/delete it, the texture of the original model disappears.
4. Once this happens, I have to restart CloudCompare and reopen the model to restore the texture.
This issue seems to occur specifically with OBJ files. I have tested the same workflow with PLY and GLB files, and the problem does not occur with those formats.
For simple tasks, restarting CloudCompare and reopening the model is only a minor inconvenience. However, if this happens during a more complex workflow involving multiple processing steps, it can become a significant problem.
I would like to know what might be causing this behavior and whether it is something that can be fixed.
Thank you.
