Which version of CloudCompare are you using?

Oops, it seems I missed this message. And it looks tough to understand, so it may take some time before I'm able to process it...

Have you set the overlap parameter correctly? Because from the image of the starting position, it seems the overlap is very small. You should set this parameter accordingly (otherwise will algorithm will try to make all the points of the 'to be aligned' cloud as close as possible to some points of t...

Yes, it's possible to map a scalar field to a standard LAS field (assuming the ranges are compatible), or even exporting it to an extended field. The issue is that the colors you see in CloudCompare are tied to the current 'color scale' and that only exist in CloudCompare. You may not be able to rep...

- Dip direction is measured in 360 degrees, clockwise from North (North being +Y by default)
- Dip angle is always positive

The 'adjust scale' button is just to allow the global scale of the to be aligned cloud to be modified so as to better match the reference entity. If you don't enable this option, then you'll have a truly 'rigid' transformation of the to be aligned cloud, without any modification of the scale (that s...

Version 2.10?!

Do you know that version 2.13 is out since February? (2.10 is 5 years old).

And the version 2.13 command line mode should support -FARTHEST_REMOVAL or even better, the more robust -OVERLAP option.

Definitely the C2M distances. And you can use either the std. deviation or the RMS... Maybe the RMS is simpler (and it includes a potential 'bias' of the distances, it's not only about the variations around the average).

Not with CloudCompare, sorry!

Sorry, not sure to understand your question...
