Hi,

I am very new to this software. I open a point cloud scene of a urban street in CC, and I have some information about car's bounding boxes of the scene. Information includes x,y,z coordinates, hight, width, lenth and rotation angle of the box. How can I import/draw the bounding box into the scene?

Thanks and regards.

You want to import this 'bounding-box' information from outside so as to display theses boxes on top of the 3D scene?

Sadly I don't know any format to do that.

A dirty trick would be to import sets of 2 points that correspond to the lower and upper corner of the boxes. If you load them as separate clouds and highlight them, then you'll see the corresponding bounding-box).

Another trick, nicer but a little bit harder, would be to load polylines corresponding to each segment of the bounding-box. Polylines can be easily defined in a file with the '.poly' extension, by writing the vertices as X Y Z on separate lines (and a blank line corresponds to the start of a new polyline)
