Saving progress and working with 37mln points

Post by East_Leon »

Hello
I am new here, so I appologize in advance for some mistakes:) I have problem, I want to process some point clouds, but they are about 37mln of points. And all the time when I try to save it, CC is giving me such message: "An error occured, while saving "C/Users/........./wdp.ply": not enough memory.". While according to this: http://www.danielgm.net/cc/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=14 it will work with 128 M pointcloud, I am right? What I am doing wrong?

Oups, looking at the code I realize that the returned error code is wrong (see PlyFilter.cpp, line 86).

So you are right, the error has nothing to do with a memory issue ;). In fact the true error is that the rPly library has failed to create the file. So you should check the path (you can try to save the file with a very simple path first, not too long and without 'funny' characters). And check also the access rights.
