M3C2 command line normals
Posted: Thu Mar 04, 2021 2:49 pm
Hello
I'm trying to use M3C2 via the command line to find changes between point clouds that already have normals. I load in a parameters file with NormalMode=1, which should use the normals the cloud already has, but the process then goes on to recompute the normals. These normals are often wrong, and it also basically doubles the processing time per comparison. I will be doing lots of comparisons, so want an quick and automated solution. My questions:
Is this a bug with trying to use M3C2 in the command line?
Is there a workaround I can use to run M3C2 via the GUI but in a scriptable way?
I love the software, thanks for all the hard work
