Is there something similar in CloudCompare? Or something like an advanced bounding box with a grid-like structure?

Thank you!

Ah, no, that's not available...

And is there any other way to draw rectangular lines?

So you can indeed load rectangular lines, by loading a '.poly' file. On each line, you can add a vertex. And if you add a blank line, it will create a new polyline.

So you could create a 'grid' file, by writing a file 'filename.poly':
X1 Y1 0
X2 Y1 0

X1 Y2 0
X2 Y2 0

X1 Y3 0
X2 Y3 0

...

X1 Y1 0
X1 YN 0

X2 Y1 0
X2 YN 0

Excellent, thank you. That helps a lot!
