Inappropriate Measurements

[nat444]

I am begginer with CloudCompare. I opened two files to unjumble them, but I found out that files are not in their original size. I created a cube 10x10x10 in CAD, but when I opened it in CC, it turned out to be 3,054. I don't want to scale it because of irregular values, but I really need measurements to be appropriate. Where is the problem here and what should I do?

In which format did you save the cube? CC loads coordinates as they are stored in the file. CAD programs may display things in some user selected units, but at export time, they choose different (arbitrary) units. And almost no file format stores the units (among those imported by CC).

I saved the cube as stl, it was made in SolidEdge. Is there any possibility to have the units stored or to solve this problem?

[daniel]

The STL format (as most other formats) does not store the units.

And from what you describe, the problem seems to be on SolidEdge side, so you might want to ask them?
