Thanks for the test.

I'll upload in a few hours a new version (compiled with MSVC2010) that fixes the issue.

Hum, I'm quite astonished to see how many people have this problem, while the project is compiled with Microsoft tools on a Microsoft OS... I'm currently trying to generate the whole project with Visual 2010 instead of Visual 2008 (as it seems that it's the heart of the problem). Meanwhile, you can ...

Hi, it appears to happen for several other users. 1st thing to try: - install the "Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package for (x64)" (you can find it here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=BA9257CA-337F-4B40-8C14-157CFDFFEE4E&displaylang=en). I...

Hi Thomas,

Finally, I've been really short on time so I couldn't do everything you suggested. I only implemented the very first part (converting normals to HSV) in the last online version (06/24/2012). But the remaining part should follow ... soon?

Now!

Hi DImitri,

I can't remember of such a functionality! I wonder if you are not cheating on CloudCompare and dreaming of another software ;)

But it's very easy indeed. It will be available in the next release! (coming soon)

Indeed! I just realized that the last version of libLAS requires the user to set a scale and offset before saving coordinates (as 32 bits integers). So as CloudCompare was leaving the default values (i.e. scale = 1.0 and offset = 0.0), your cloud coordinates were simply cropped to the lower integer ...

Use the left ALT key + left mouse button to make a rectangular selection (just as SHIFT + mouse for standard multiple elements selection). Assuming you have X Y and Z aligned in proper columns in your text file, an efficient way of doing this is: - if the file is only composed of X Y and Z coordinat...

In this particular mode, the FBO texture size is N^2 times the screen size (for a zoom factor of N). So for high zoom values, the texture size will overflow the graphic card memory. For instance, if your current 3D view is 1024*1024 (= 1Mb * 4 = 4Mb as we are in RGBA mode), then a factor of 6 implie...

Hi, This is not possible 'directly'. But it would be very simple to add such a function to CloudCompare. For the moment, you can duplicate the X Y and Z columns of your point cloud in an ASCII file (with Notepad++ for instance). Then open this modified file with CloudCompare and assign the 3 supplem...
