I recently encountered a situation where I needed to unroll a partial cone from a point cloud. However, despite following the available instructions and adjusting the settings, the software only generates a straightened cone view, similar to that of a cylinder. The resulting unrolled view does not accurately represent the shape and geometry of the original partial cone.

I would greatly appreciate your guidance and support in addressing this issue. If there are any specific settings, techniques, or additional steps that I may be overlooking, I kindly request your assistance in providing detailed instructions on how to effectively unroll a partial cone from point cloud data in CC.

Have you tried the latest 2.13.alpha version? The 'Unroll' tool has changed quite a bit.

Otherwise, don't hesitate to share the cloud with us (admin@cloudcompare.org) with a description of what you try to achieve.
