        That's cool Edson - it is supposed to look like that for Didier encrypted it. Just copy it into the Plugins folder (or wherever you do this on Mac) and it will work, believe me!

                  Hi all

                  Didier, thanks for this script! 😄

                  I have tried to make a cloud of the Roman forum using the data from this site:

                  http://dlib.etc.ucla.edu/projects/Forum/geospatial

                  But the end result is not in the right scale.
                  I cant understant what i'm doing wrong, can anyone help me?

                  here is the SKP. file with my result:

                  Many thanks.

                    Edson,

                    Go to the Ruby Library Depot site (of Didier) and there you'll find a test (*.dat) file for the script.


                    Pedro,

                    The data provided on the website is probably in centimetres and your model is in feet.
                    Change the template/Units in your file where you're importing the data file, import it (and later you may change the units back).

                    I hope this works - please, let us know!

                    Gai...

                      Tks Gaieus!!

                      That was the problem, i set the units to meters and it is perfect.
                      That was a real beginner mistake! lol
                      The first thing i do in a new model is change the units. How could i forgot it this time! tks.

                          Does anyone know why my result is the wrong scale and inverted/mirrored?

                            Ben,

                            You might be using another template file ("units-wise") than the input is. That was "ELISYUM"'s problem, too (see above).

                            I don't know about mirroring. Maybe the order of the date-input? (It should be x,y,z - in this order).

                            Gai...

                                    I found a source to Read the Manual at: http://www.crai.archi.fr/RubyLibraryDepot/Ruby/Cloud.pdf

                                    And I've got a question.
                                    What data sources do you use for this? Are there terrain maps on the web in this format?

                                      Yeah, it's right next to the script - as Didier noted above.

                                      As for the input - use simple text files with the x,y,z coordinates of every single point entered into a line each.

                                      The source of this data file... well, wherever you can get it. I enter my own measurements or use a survey station and get the data as a text file or anything.

                                      This script is mainly for you to use your own data than for importing because by importing you can usually have your mesh already.

                                        Didier, thank you for ALL your ruby scripts at your site... found a couple new ones I hadn't seen before.

                                        you have a tiny glitch...
                                        http://www.crai.archi.fr/RubyLibraryDepot/Ruby/Roof-v2-1.zip is missing the '.zip' in the link, so that it's a broken link. I just added the ".zip" to my address line, and it d/ls just fine.

                                        thanks again for your site.
                                        The pushpull multiple faces with 2 selected points is going to be my new favorite tool! It's just what I came here looking for! 😄

                                          Normally Rick Wilson's freebies links are redirecting you to Smustard as he requested. So the link is buggy twice. 😒 Will fix that asap.

                                            Didier. Just downloaded cloud.rb. I had not come across this script until now. I haven't worked with point clouds before but this could be brilliant for my work.

                                            Thanks
