Re: Interpretation of C2M signed distances when the distance between points is great

Can you send me these meshes so that I can double check things on my side? (the new version of CC is more robust, so the C2M distances should not have the same issue as before with 'flipped' distances, but I don't see why the reported distances would be much larger than what you expect...). Essentia...

Re: Cloud Point showing up as a straight line

Also, a classical issue is if the points are expressed in a 'geographical' coordinate system with X and Y being angles, and Z being in meters (i.e. with a totally different scale). CC expects all 3 dimensions to be the same. Thank you. How can I check or edit this upon import? You'll see that right...

Re: Register 2 extra clouds

Well, targets are always a very robust solution (but CC only accepts spherical ones). But otherwise, I would recommend using 'point pair based alignment' at least to roughly register the new scans to the group of already georeferenced ones, and then if necessary run ICP to refine the result (with th...

Re: Poisson Surface Reconstruction Vs Rasterizing

Well, the Rasterize tool is to create rasters (geotiff), which is quite different from a TIN/DTM represented as a triangular mesh (what you would get with the PoissonRecon or more simply with the Delaunay 2.5D meshing tool). Also, most of the mesh formats don't handle large coordinates (contrarily t...

Re: Width of slices from "cross section -> slice extraction"

Hum, not sure to follow you. With the Cross section tool, and it's 'repeat' mode, you can extract slices of a specified width, and even with an interval between the slices that's different from the slices thickness. And of course you can set the initial section position so that's its aligned with a ...

Re: Promting user when attempting to close files

Ah, I think this is already on the TODO list (sadly, it's growing ever and ever, but never shrinks due to the lack of contributors...).

Re: Laggy point cloud manipulation after LOD acceleration structure operation

Frankly I don't know... nothing really makes sense. I guess you are using the latest driver?

Re: [latest alpha] New scalarfields not proposed when saving

Can you open a ticket on github and tag Thomas Montaigu (the new LAS I/O author) maybe?
