Min cloud-to-cloud distance in CloudCompare

Post by Haft »

Having difficulty using this feature. I've read the wiki and watched YouTube videos, but after I compute the console just shows mean distance and standard deviation. I don't care about that- I want to know the distance between the two points, one in each cloud, that are closest to one another. I feel like there's just some box that I'm not checking or something, but I can't find anything helpful. Thoughts? Thanks

If you just want the minimum distance, then you can read it directly in the cloud properties (the 'SF display params' section' shows the 'Display range' and this range always starts at the minimum scalar value).

You can also use the 'Edit > Scalar fields > Show histogram' tool to read it (either below the graph, or by clicking on the graph and moving the red line to the far left).
