Export ply option

[ccastilloro2]

Dear Daniel,

I am trying to export a filtered density point cloud in ply format in command line. This is the beginning of the command line I´m using:
CloudCompare -C_EXPORT_FMT PLY -PLY_EXPORT_FMT ASCII...

This way, I get: 'Misplaced or unknown -PLY_EXPORT_FMT command'. I guess I´m doing something wrong.

If I remove the -ply_export command, everything works fine but a window pops up asking whether BIN o ASCII format. Is there any way to input the ascii option beforehand not needing succesive clicking in the ply options window?

Thank you in advance, awesome job!

Carlos

Hi,

This command works on my side. What version of CloudCompare are you using? Is is recent enough?

[ccastilloro2]

Version 2.6.0. I´ve just downloaded v 2.6.1. and it works!! Thanks!

Daniel, I´ve got another query. Is there any way of saving a merged point cloud in a different folder with a specific name from command line? I´m trying

....-MERGE_CLOUDS c:\filename.ply (I think this should be allowed according to the command line mode guide)

and the command is unknown.

Thanks a lot,

Carlos

Nope you can't specify the output folder/filename yet. This is already in the TODO list however.

Thanks for your help and patience anyway!
