Comparing 2 STL files

Post by AHL »

Hi all,

I am new to CloudCompare! I want to compare two bone models and turn them into a visual graph/model where you can see on the model how much they differ (red being different, green where the models overlap nicely -I have attached an example-), and I would like to use CloudCompare to do this. Both are STL format. Who can help me get started?

I would suggest to follow the instructions on the wiki: http://www.cloudcompare.org/doc/wiki/in ... omputation or http://www.cloudcompare.org/doc/wiki/in ... D_entities.

For the colors, check http://www.cloudcompare.org/doc/wiki/in ... es_Manager.

And you also have access to tutorials on youtube, or from past trainings: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9lKi ... VRsWEVBUGc
