CloudCompare forum

Dear Daniel,

Thank you for your 2 replies. After reading *.stl files and displays on the screen, I can measure the
saving time to a new *stl file or to a new *obj file. So my purpose is completed.
As I told you before, my debug version does not work. As I first installed your cloudCompare,
there is ...

Dear Daniel,

By changing the second recursive parameter
if( win->getOwnDB()->filterChildren( meshes, true, CC_TYPES::MESH, false ) != 0 ) {
from false to true ,
I can save a new *stl file. Also doing
ObjFilter filter ;
result = filter.saveToFile( meshes[0], outputFilename, parameters ) ;
I can ...

Dear Sir,
I found that "win->getOwnDB()->filterChildren( meshes, false, CC_TYPES::MESH, false )" return 0 .
So "filter.saveToFile( meshes[0], outputFilename, parameters ) ; " is not called.
The win is gotten by "ccGLWindow * win = m_app->getActiveGLWindow() ;"
So I think win is different from "*.stl ...

I just imitate your code.
QSettings settings;
settings.beginGroup(ccPS::SaveFile());
QString currentPath = settings.value(ccPS::CurrentPath(),QApplication::applicationDirPath()).toString();

QString outputFilename = QFileDialog::getSaveFileName(win, "Select *.stl output file", currentPath ...

Now, I am trying to save the *.stl image made in my Plugin.
With the following code
STLFilter *filter = new STLFilter() ;
QString selectedFilter = filter->GetFileFilter() ;
ccHObject *entity = win->getOwnDB() ;
result = FileIOFilter::SaveToFile( entity ,outputFilename,parameters,selectedFilter ...

Dear Daniel,
Thank you for your reply. Inserting only
newGroup->setDisplay_recursive( win ) ;
I can display *.stl files in my plugin menu.
For this, I can evaluate the *.stl reading and displaying time interval.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely Yours,

I know that if we use File -> Open ->STL mesh(*.stl), I can draw *.stl file on your CloudCompare Screen Window.
Now I am challenging to draw *.stl file from my Plugin.
Using ccHObject* newGroup = FileIOFilter::LoadFromFile(selectedFiles[0], parameters, currentFilter),
I can get "[I/O] File "***.stl ...

Thank you for your teaching. Since my first dialog is so simple, and I have an experience to make a dialog in the unix,
I can make ui_MyPluginDlg.h without running CMake. My dialog is appeared after picking myPlugin dialog.
I try to do your advice when making another dialog.
Sincerely,

I am still strugging to make a dialog. By copying ccPcvDlg.cpp, ccPcvDlg.h, pcvDlg.ui in the qPCV directory, I made qMyPluginDlg.cpp, qMyPluginDlg.h and qMyPluginDlg.ui. Since there is a QtCreator, by changing pcvDlg.ui using the QtCreator, I could make qMyPluginDlg.ui.
For opening and reading ...

Thank you for your reply. I must study more about Qt.
Probably, I will start this tommorow.
Sincerely,
