CloudCompare forum

I use ubuntu 16.04 LTS. After I install cloudcompare. I want to transform mesh to point cloud. However, when I use the command line, it doesn't work. May I ask how to config ./bashrc or some file to use this?

First you probably have to change the current directory so as to be in the same directory as CloudCompare executable.

Then you also have to open a file before sampling the mesh (with '-O').
