Import normals from scalar field

Is it possible to implement this feature?
At present I have to export the cloud in ascii and then re-import it indicating the fields of the normal, it would be much easier if there was this command
Many thanks

Hi,

Interestingly, I just addded this feature in the latest 2.13.beta version (last Saturday!).

See https://www.cloudcompare.org/doc/wiki/i ... _as_normal

It works correctly, very well!!!
To set scalars as coordinates it would be nice to have the same interface like this, to be able to set three values at the same time (as possible values there should be the current coordinates , I use scalars to give the same cloud other projections).
Many Thanks
