HPC format and coordinate grid

[deepminder]

Hello Daniel!
I have faced few problems and I wanted to ask you if there is possibility to solve it in CloudCompare:
1) Opening Hexagon Point Cloud. Hexagon companies has started to use it in their software and it would be great if CloudCompare can also open it.
2) Is it possible to add grid with coordinates on the background when rendering to image? The idea is to get a raster with some information about it's position.

Thanks in advance!

1) Is this format open? Or is there a SDK to read it? I couldn't find any information about it.

2) Nope, it's in the TODO list though. Meanwhile you could relatively easily create a set of polylines to do the trick with a 'poly' file: write the two vertices of each segment on two consecutive lines, and then add a blank line to separate each segment.

Code: Select all

X0 Y0 Z0
X1 Y1 Z1

X2 Y2 Z2
X3 Y3 Z3
