CloudCompare forum

I am half answering my own question here. I re-discovered that this is the "near clipping depth" adjustment, which I see that I can change by scrolling up and down on my mouse, while holding down the command button, on my Mac. However, this adjustment is tedious. Is there a more straightfo...

Hello all, This is something that I've noticed on two projects, so far. When I want to zoom in, on extreme close up details, the point cloud gets trimmed off, as if it is passing an invisible plane that makes anything past that plane invisible. I'm including a screen shot that shows how the headstoc...

Thank you for this. It is helpful.

Since I don't understand that coding stuff at the end of the github discussion I just deactivated the option "Use native load /save dialogs" in the Display Settings, and it worked.

Thank yuo.

I want to start recording some CloudCompare screen captures with OBS. Oddly, when I do a screen capture > application capture in OBS, CloudCompare does not show up in the dropdown menu like all the other applications do. I am on a Mac OS 15.4.1 and am using CloudCompare 2.13.2. Am I doing something ...

Oh, I see... Thank you... I think what threw me off a bit was that some of the icons don't show up with a lot of contrast in dark theme (such as the arrow to open folder). Since this is open source, I guess I could make my own personalized icons for the tools, etc. Where is the folder with the icons...

Thank you very much. This is in fact very helpful.

Here is a screen shot of what I am trying to do.

There is a point could scan of a guitar and a scan of the guitar bridge (in the yellow box).

Is it possible to move the bridge in the correct place on the guitar?

Thanks.

Hello all, I just started using CloudCompare to view 3D scans of guitars and guitar parts. I was hoping to be able to import separate guitar parts into a project and then move and rotate each guitar part separately so that I can assemble a guitar in 3D space. Can this be done in CloudCompare? Thanks.
