CloudCompare forum

Hello,

I am new to point clouds meshes and the like. I cam across this software when i was searching on how to convert a .obj to a point cloud.

I would like to be able to use data collected from matterport scans, both for 2D plans and to create 3d models. I am familiar with Creo, solidworks and Autocad.

I have successfully opened a obj but any the options to edit the mesh are greyed out?

Can someone give me any direction on where to look to learn more?

Thank you

In CloudCompare, whenever you want to apply a tool, you have to select the entity(ies) to process first.

Then, for your particular need, you should use 'Edit > Mesh > Sample points'.
