I have tried to save the result by selecting the cloud icon of **stl** files in cloudcomapre and save the compared results by this kind:

So i have in some **.asc** file by 4 columns as you can see here:

And some others i have 6 columns as you can see here:

So i like to know why there is some extra columns by the name of **Approx. distances** and
**Temp. approx. distances** ?

That's weird. These scalar fields are temporary scalar fields created by the 'Distances computation' tool dialog. They should be removed when exiting the tool...

Either you manage to save the clouds when the tool is still running? Or there's a glitch where the temporary scalar fields are not removed at the end...
