Here is some additional info: I tried to use the tool next to C2M, called "Calculate Distance to primitive". I thougt it was appropriate since I was dealing with a fitted plane between 4 points. In this menu it was possible to check the "Flip normals" option, and afterwards I com...

I am having some problems with flipping the normals in the C2M-distance menu. It is not possible to check the checkbox saying "flip normals". Do any of you have an idea why this happens? I am calculating distances between a point cloud and a fitted plane.

Ok, thanks a lot :-)

Hi :-) I'm trying to write a script that can calculate the mean value and standard deviation of the scalar field in a cloud. Here after, using -FILTER_SF, all points which scalar field values exceed 3 times the standard deviation, on both sides of the mean value, will be extracted to one cloud, and ...

Hi :-) I am trying to write a script that: 1. Imports a point cloud and fits the best plane on it 2. Saves this plane as a mesh so it can be used later in another script 3. Calculates the cloud-to-mesh distances between the plane and the cloud 4. Saves the new cloud To make it work properly with my ...
