If the normals are properly signed, you can try:
- additionally, extract the normal components as scalar fields, and find which SF (Nx, Ny or Nz - I would expect Nz) may differentiate the 2 sub-sets (based on the sign typically)
- or try your luck with the 'Stereogram' tool of the Facet plugin

Are you really using the C2C tool? Not the C2M one? (in which case, you only compute the distance between the vertices of one mesh to the vertices of the other mesh, not to its 'surface'). Anyway, you could try to create a 'command line' script (hopefully easier than coding in Python). At least you ...

Oh, so it's now called the Faro Scene API... https://knowledge.faro.com/Software/FAR ... dalone_API

Bonjour,

Le plugin a été développé par un contributeur 'externe' (un labo): https://github.com/hvs-ait/mplane-plugin

Vous pouvez essayer de le contacter via cette page github j'imagine (via une 'issue' typiquement).

Is it maybe a group (folder) of clouds with multiple clouds inside?

You can only export a single entity (cloud or mesh) in a PLY file. Therefore, make sure you highlight only one cloud, and not a folder.

This tool can only be applied to point clouds...

One option would be to sample a lot of points on the mesh (with 'Edit > Mesh > Sample points').

Ah ah, If I got 1$ every time this question is asked... This is due to large coordinates. See the warning when you load the LAS file about large coordinates, and why a 'Global shift' should be applied at loading time to reduce the amplitude of the coordinates. You should always apply a shift that's ...

Bonjour,

Je ne suis pas sûr de comprendre. Normalement vous avez juste à installer CC (avec l'installeur) et le plugin devrait déjà se trouver dans le répertoire 'plugins'.

Je viens de re-tester avec la version 2.14.alpha, et ça marche toujours a priori.

This should now work (hopefully).

No the warning is normal, it just to tell the user that all coordinates have been (temporarily) translated to local coordinates.

But this should normally be restored when exporting entities to most of the file formats supported by CC, and also to geotiff files.
