Contrarily to a standard 2.5D Delaunay triangulation, this method will force the contour lines as edges for the output triangles.<br /> <br /> = Procedure =<br /> <br /> Select several polylines or a group of polylines then call this method.<br /> <br /> CloudCompare will ask the user the &#039;projection dimension&#039; (i.e. the dimension orthogonal to the contour lines):<br /> <br /> [[Image:Cc_contour_plot_to_mesh_dialog.jpg|frame|center|&#039;Contour plot to mesh&#039; dialog]]<br /> <br /> CloudCompare will eventually generate the mesh.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Cc_contour_plot_to_mesh_result.jpg|frame|center|&#039;Contour plot to mesh&#039; result]]<br /> <br /> <br /> Warning: if the contour lines are crossing (in 2D) then holes may appear in the resulting mesh.</div>
