It is great to join this community! Would there a path towards doing the following in CloudCompare? I would like to have CC select the parts of a mesh where the mesh texture has a specific color. Perhaps by using a scalar field or other method? The purpose would be to segment the mesh on the basis of the mesh color. My apologies if this is a self-evident question. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Yes you will select your model in the DB tree and then use the menu bar: (edit->mesh->Convert texture/material to RGB)
then (edit->Colors->convert to Scalar field)

then you can use the scalar tools as usual.
