CloudCompare forum

Hi there! I'm new to CC, but wanted to do the following from the command line on Windows:

CloudCompare -SILENT -O myfile.las -CSF -SCENES RELIEF -CLOTH_RESOLUTION 1 -CLASS_THRESHOLD 0.5 -EXPORT_GROUND

basically, I'm interested only in whatever the CSF marked as ground. The default output for qCSF is bin whenever the EXPORT_GROUND flag is raised.

However, I'd like to work with LAS files, if possible. I tried converting
CloudCompare -SILENT -O myfile.bin -C_EXPORT_FMT LAS

without luck.

I'd appreciate any help!

Thanks!

Can you remove the -SILENT option and check whether you see a ligne appear in the log like:
"New output extension for clouds: LAS"?

This should appear before the CSF plugin executes.

Hi Daniel! Thank you for your suggestion! Putting the output before the plugin had the desired effect: file output is LAS! AWESOME!
