CloudCompare forum

First Hello Daniel,
Few months ago we have started a project on Cloud Compare in the aim of automatizing a processing chain in Python to determinate geotechnic parameters of isolated rock blocks from a cliff.
The volume is the first one we need, to then calculate the others. We have turned ourself to the 2.5D Calculation Volume tool and the results were correct. From now, we want to automatize the steps done but we encountered two major issues. We have generated a best fit plane at the back of the block and we want to get the best coordinate X value of the points belonging to the plane and insert this one in the "Ground / Before" window (See the picture linked). Do you have an idea of how it could be done ?
Secondly, we would like CC interpolate rather than leave empty the "empty cells" in the "Ceil / After" window (see the picture). We have seen that this is possible for the rasterize tool but not actually for the volume calculation.

We want to thank you for your future answer.
Francois and Louis.

Well, sadly, extracting the plane center is not 'possible' in the current state of command line tool (options). You would have to implement/add your own options.

And then, we can't interpolate outside of the convex hull. At least I don't know how to do it ;)
