CloudCompare forum

Hi,
I have been trying to subsample a very large pointcloud (71GB) using the command line. It looks like CloudCompare gets through most of the process but then gets stuck with a writing error. I have attached a screenshot of the error messages, does anyone have any idea what this issue is related to? I have 530GB of free space on the drive where Cloud Compare is installed and I have the point cloud file in the Cloud Compare directory of my c: drive. Sorry I'm quite new at this, any help appreciated thanks.

Nice job CC ;) (well, for the first part, with the 567M. points ;).

Not sure what happened here, but the disk space should be fine indeed. Can you maybe try to save the output cloud in a different format? e.g. E57?

You should add '-C_EXPORT_FMT E57' before the '-SS' command for instance.
