Hello! When I try to import a tif file of a raster DEM in Cloud Compare it shows me only blue color. I guess I just have to set some display properties but I am stuck so I need some help if somedoby knows,thank you!

This is probably the default scalar field that is displayed by default by CC (and it must correspond to a numerical 'band' associated to your raster).

You can hide it (by deactivating the scalar field color source of the raster entity). And you can switch to RGB source (if you have some RGB information). And you can use many other ways to enhance the display of the 3D entity (activate the EDL shader, create a scalar field with the Z coordinates for instance, use colors gradient, etc.)
