Scalar fields\Export coordinate(s) to SF(s)

Menu

This tool is accessible via the 'Edit > Scalar fields > Export coordinate(s) to SF(s)' menu or the 'Tools > Projection > Export coordinate(s) to SF(s)' menu.

Description

This tool lets the user export the point coordinates to one or several scalar fields.

CloudCompare will ask the user to select the source dimension(s):

Edit > Scalar Fields > Export coordinate(s) toSF(s) dialog

Each dimension will be exported to a scalar field with a predefined name ('Coord. X', 'Coord. Y' and 'Coord. Z').

Z coordinates exported to a new scalar field

Warning: if a scalar field with the same name exists, it will be overwritten.
