Saving picked points

Post by kalliopikout »

Hello,

I have made an intersection on a point cloud, then a picked a point and saved its label by pressing ''save current label-added to cloud children).
The point appears on the panel below the intersection, but when I am trying to save/export the point I get an error '' Dependency broken: entity 'merged_all - Cloud.section' must also be in selection in order to save 'Point #1'''.

The problem is that I cannot select both at the same time...

Thanks in advance for your help!

Actually you just need to select the cloud (labels are children of this cloud, and will be automatically saved when exporting the cloud to a BIN file).

The issue is that you will export a 'label' and not a point. And no other format than BIN support 'labels' anyway.

You should actually use the 'Point list picking' tool (https://www.cloudcompare.org/doc/wiki/i ... st_picking). This one lets you pick one or several point, and actually export them as a new cloud or as a file.
