Measuring area

Hi,

I'm wandering if someone know how to measure selected areas on 3d pointcloud.

Thanks a lot for helping me,
Alessandro

if you finished the mesh you can crop the area.
Then TOOLS-->MESH-->MEASURE-->AREA AND VOLUME
should give the area of the croped section.

Thanks, yes I know how to do from a whole mesh.

But I need to define an area on a point cloud and measure that area...

Hello Alessandro,

I can suggest to draw a shape in the point cloud view mode, then switch to the Ortho view (by double clicking on the shapes folder in the Workspace pane), right-click on the selected shape and check Area value.
