Assign Z value to csv list point from cloudpoints

[carmelo]

Good morning,
I've a file with many points, this points have only est and nord value.
I've a cloudpoints, in cloudcompare.
Is there a way to load this csv file and assign for each point the Z of cloudpoints?

It's like project the csv points on the clouds, is it possible?

Ah that's tricky but possible.

- you can load your CSV file (as an ASCII file). It will give you a flat cloud.
- then you can take your other cloud, and convert the Z coordinates to a scalar field (Edit > Scalar fields > Export coordinate(s) toSF)
- then you can interpolate this SF on the CSV points (Edit > Scalar fields > Interpolate from another entity - see https://www.cloudcompare.org/doc/wiki/i ... her_entity)
- eventually convert the interpolated SF (on the CSV cloud) as Z coordinates (Edit > Scalar fields > Set SF as coordinates)
