CloudCompare forum

I tried DXF but couldn't get anything going with it.

I was told somewhere else in order to do it I needed to convert the cross sections to sketches, so thats what I did.

Sometimes trying to get this done, I end up going around in so many circles with so many different apps/programs that I lose ...

Making some progress!!!!

Although making the cross sections on cloudcompare I had some problems doing it, I'm not exactly sure why the instructions didn't work, I must have had something not quite right. One thing that I have learned from Mesh/Cad software is that if you are missing one tiny bit of ...

Thanks Daniel for the response.

Yes, I looked into the M3C2 and I couldn't really see how it would work either, But was worth asking, just in case.

For the 2D cross section, it does need to be accurate, more so, to give me at least more than anything the areas of maximum curvature, and although ...

After hours and hours of searching on the internet about how to achieve a curvature color map over one axis of a mesh or point cloud, rather surprisingly it seems to be something that is incredibly difficult to do (especially for a non expert).


I am thinking that perhaps i have to adapt my ...

I did find some information/instructions about a possible way/ways of doing it, I could be that they are incorrect and it doesnt work, but if it does work I also have many holes in my knowledge to achieve it.

Also the plug-in that it mentions, the M3C2 Plug-in, I have tried to click on it just to ...

Hi Forum, I'm new here.

I have been trying for around 2 years (off and on) trying to be able to create a color curvature map for some scanned .stl files for analysis for a hobby project.

Basically i have been going around in circles trying every free or free trial program that could potentially do ...
