CloudCompare forum

If I save a point cloud in *.csv or *.pts format, I can see a row for each point, and nine columns. I want to know what the nine numbers represent (please). I am hoping they are location of point (X, Y, Z), perhaps colour, but it would be good to know what each column represents.

Did you see the option to add a 'header' to the output file?

Anyway, that's generally X Y Z R G B Nx Ny Nz Scalar1 Scalar2 etc. (but it depends if your cloud has RGB colors, normals, scalar fields, etc.
