Scalar fields\Add constant SF

Menu / Icon

This tool is accessible via the icon in the upper main toolbar or the 'Edit > Scalar fields > Add constant SF' menu.

Description

Adds a new scalar field with a constant value (i.e. same value for all points) to the selected cloud.

CloudCompare will first ask for the SF name (must be unique, otherwise if a SF with the same name exists it will be overwritten).

Edit > Scalar Fields > Add constant SF dialog (SF name)

Then CloudCompare will ask for the (constant) SF value.

Edit > Scalar Fields > Add constant SF dialog (SF value)

Note: useful in conjunction with the Arithmetic tool.
