CloudCompare forum

Hi everyone.

I am new to the software. Can someone explain to me what is causing this error:

DoActionSORFilterFAlides to apply the noise to filter ´Scan0´(not enough memory?

The cloud is about 3 billion points.

There is some special configuration to work better

Thank you very much

Sadly, due to a technical limitation, CloudCompare can't process clouds bigger than 2 billion points.

Considering that limitation, you can super easily chop the input file when opening into CC. When opening the cloud check the "tiling" tab.
