Create planes from text file

Post by westergu »

Hi,
Is there a way to create multiple planes according to a text file, containing information about cx, cy, cz, normal (or dip and dipdir), size and color?

Best regards,
Gustav

Would this be a big task, from a programming point of view, to implement it into the software?
The reason why I ask this is the following. After that planes has been generated with the Ransac or compass plugins, one can export the plane info with the batch export. In Excel you can then easily modify the properties of the planes, and also do some filtering. Once this is done it would be nice to read these modified planes back to CC.
Thank you for a great software!

Well, I guess it would be rather simple for a C++ developer to create a specific I/O filter (ideally as a plugin, or even simply add a class to the existing qAdditionalIO plugin: https://github.com/CloudCompare/CloudCo ... ditionalIO) to load this kind of files.
