contour from photogrametry DSM point clouds

[abelkloster]

Hi there,
Is there a way to generate contours from a digital surface model on cloud compare. We are working with drone data and not LIDAR.
Thanks

Nope, CC only extracts contours from point clouds for now... It would be a bit silly, but techically you can convert the mesh to a dense cloud (with 'Edit > Mesh > Sample points') and then extract the contour. But it may not be as clean as doing that directly from the mesh...
