Interpolating between surveyed cross-sections

Post by CSUJMurr »

Hi,
I am working on a hydraulic modeling project (stream bed hydraulics). I have a series of cross-sections that were surveyed and I need to interpolate the stream bed elevations in the space between the XSs, and ideally create a surface that follows the path of the cross-sections. Is this possible using CloudCompare, and if so what is the most effective way to go about this?

If you have enough vertices on your cross sections, then I guess you can attempt to derive a surface mesh from the full set of vertices indeed (you would have to clone each 'vertices' entity so as to make it an independent cloud, then merge all the resulting cloud, and eventually use 2.5D Delaunay triangulation for instance.
