CloudCompare forum

Thanks again Daniel, last question I have is how do I prevent the sample mesh from re-building/re-processing when I rotate the camera around the part? The sample mesh comparison is working great at picking up small differences, but everytime I have to change views it re-builds and takes close to 10m...

Hey Daniel, another question. What does the point density mean exactly in this case? Is it the number of points generated per a specific volume of the .STL I'm creating the sample mesh from, if so would you be able to tell me what that volume is?

Thank you Daniel! This does show the hole now at the cost of making the mesh a little slower to manipulate (I had to go up to 10,000,000 points to get a good resolution). I think I will update my procedure to use both methods of 1) comparing the two aligned .STLs and 2) converting sample A (base CAD...

When comparing two aligned .STL files (made from solid bodies in SolidWorks), a 2mm thru hole I added in one part does not show up as a difference after using the "Compute cloud/mesh distance" command. Is there another way to highlight these areas where material is completely removed? I ha...
