Command line mode - how to calculate distances in stl files

[annarai]

Hello,

I have easily calculated distances between my two stl files with CC, in order to represent contact points with colors. Could it be possible to obtain the same result using the command line mode? I tried it but I didn't managed to do it.
This could be useful since I would to launch this command from python and then show the result with it.

Thanks in advance,
Anna

What version did you use? I think the 2.9 alpha was bugged (you should try with the latest 2.9 beta version).

Otherwise what was the command line you tried?

Hello Daniel!

I'am using the 2.9 beta version and the command I tried was:

CloudCompare -O file1.asc -O file2.asc -C2C_DIST -MAX_DIST 0.3 -C_EXPORT_FMT ASC -SAVE_CLOUDS.

So, I have solved my problem simply converting my file.stl in file.asc :)

Thank you :)
