Link Open3D to Plugin contribution

[farmakis]

Hello,
My team and I from the University of Newcastle, Australia, are planning to contribute a plugin for rockfall detection.
The plugin relies on some Open3D functionality and I am wondering what is the prefered way of linking Open3D to the project?

Thanks!

Hi,

Ideally, you would add Open3D as a submodule. But it's also acceptable to let developers simply install/compile it on their side and add the necessary CMake options to point to it.
