CloudCompare forum

Hi

I'm importing cloud (model) data in csv format. I am examining two dimensional slices of a product, imported in *.ply format, and comparing with this CSV model.

When the csv file contains only three vectors (x, y and z) there is no problem.

My *.csv data however comes in columns representing four slices i.e.

Column 1: x_slice_one
Column 2: y_slice_one
Column 3: z_slice_one
Column 4: x_slice_two
Column 5: y_slice_two
etc (12 columns)

When opening I have tried to use the "Ignore" function in the popup window for the 9 columns I don't wish to look at as I'm comparing one *.ply at a time. However while this does import the three columns it appears to corrupt the data with adjacent columns data points. The corruption seems to be an overwriting of some data.

[*.bmp not permitted]This can be seen in the attached *.bmp where the contiguous points represent the desired data and the free-floating lines are 'ghosts' from adjacent columns.

Has anyone else experienced this and is there anything I can do other than saving four csv files for each dataset?

Thanks in advance for the help

We can't see the image (it seems BMP format is not supported by the forum).

Can you send me the file (or an excerpt)? (cloudcompare [at] danielgm.net)
