CloudCompare forum

I have one e57 file that is made up of 15 scans. I would like to split this up into 15 seperate e57 files. Is this possible with CC?

I found this topic in the search https://www.danielgm.net/cc/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2709

However on trying it out it is not working. My code is: CloudCompare -O Chatham Station internal.e57 -C_EXPORT_FMT E57 -SAVE_CLOUDS

The error message is saying : {Load} Can't guess file format: no file extension

Is there something glaringly obvious that i (someone that isn't to familiar with using the command promt in CC) can't see.

I have the e57 loaded in the DB tree and its the only active e57 open.

Thanks in advance

Yep, don't use filenames with spaces, that's rarely a good idea ;)

In effect, in your command line, use quotes to capture the whole filename: "Chatham Station internal.e57".

Hi Daniel, I have tried that and its not working? I am guessing it may be to do with the file name then? I took the spaces out and it still didn't work?

You probably need to specify the complete path to the file: e.g. "C:/XXX/YYY/ZZZ/Chathamint.e57"

Ah, yep that’s got it.

Thanks Daniel
