Hello, I was pretty sure it was possible to display the mesh edges in CC but I cannot figure it out. I have a meshe as an OBJ file representing a TIN (terrain) that I loaded in CC 2.11.1 (installed from Ubuntu 22.04 snap). I computed a Scalar Field along Z to display the terrain height with a nice c...

Hi, just a small question, I'm working on Linux (Ubuntu 16.04), I have build CC from sources but I can't find any 'canpuo' tag within cmake-gui. I thought there would be some shared lib with the canupo repository itself, which I have cloned as well locally. So...How to compile CC with qCanupo? Thanks

Hello, I am wondering if it would be possible to load a clipping line (from the scissors tool for example, or a dedicated tool to load it in the DB tree) from a Polygon stored as a simple JSON or WKT string in a text file ?

Hi, I've some requests ideas for the future; - including GeoJSON format (read/write) for vector data. - clipping cloud using multiple closed polygons (e.g. buildings) - automatically rescaling the displayed legend scale-bar for SF colours on meshes or point clouds when the limits are changed on the ...

Hi, I also try to install CC on a laptop with Ubuntu Xenial, on which, when configuring within cmake-gui , I ended with this error if I try to install the qPoissonrecon plugin (without it, everything runs fine) : First this pop-up : "Error in configuration process, project files may be invalid&...

I thought it was some open source library implementing 3D in real time for openGL or something like that. And which is need by Linux based OS.
