Hi Daniel,
First i would like to thank you again for the SW, it's very use-full.
I have several meshes created by different 3D scanners of the same ball.

I would like to be able to quantify which mesh gives a better representation of the ball.
for example:
1 ...

the system i'm using to generate 3D PLYs isn't perfect, so there are some "missing points" in the cloud.
on a certain plane, i'm expecting to get a specific number of pixels.. when the ASCII output is generated it works only on the pixels it recognizes.

i'm wondering if there's a way, for example ...

-"on the triangle" you mean on the plane?
- i just took the first 500 points CC generated on the ASCII file.
- another issue - is there any way to get the number of non-valid points?
i mean the points in the cloud that are just missing (infinity or 0 depth).

thanks allot for all your help Daniel!

Firstly, thnx alot for the quick reply!
when i save the ASCII file, its format is:

X Y Z R G B C2M_signed_distances
-1005.024536 752.8677979 -1998.517944 126 126 126 -4.554881
-1007.760315 757.6328125 -2011.166748 124 124 124 -7.465148

just making sure, the signed distance is the distance between ...

Hello,
I'm trying to retrieve specific data of a cloud.
iv'e cropped a certain cloud and by using tools>fit>plane , discovered my desired plane.
by choosing the plane and the rest of the cloud and using the compute cloud/mesh function iv'e got a great cloud describing distances of each pixel from my ...
