CloudCompare forum

Hi,

Im quite new at pointcloud modelling (also spanish speaker, so please forgive me for my english).

I would like to know which is the workflow to make a comparation between a laser pointcloud and a solid/surface (not a mesh) with CC.

I´m making my way through Geomagic DesignX, modelling the scan data. The solid/surface export formats from Geomagic dosen´t seem to be compatible with CC :

.xdl
.mdl
.igs
.stp
.x_t
.x_b
.sat
.sab
.bip
.model
.catpart

Could anyone tell me which would be the correct workflow for this? Is there a way to generate tecnical pdf reports after making the comparation?

Thanks!

CloudCompare only handles surface (triangular) meshes.

And nope, you can't generate PDF files afterwards :D.

FreeCAD https://www.freecadweb.org/ might help, ... it imports some nurbs formats, and it can create a triangulated surface from a nurbs model.
