Compute normals

Version française

Menu: Analyze / Compute normals

After clicking on “Compute normals”, the algorithm will automatically begin to calculate the normal of every point in the point cloud. Afterward, when viewing points by normals (Menu: View / Color by normals), points belonging to horizontal planes will appear in green and points on a vertical plane will appear in blue. All other points will appear in white. This will provide a better view of the intersection of plane allowing as well a better view of the edges while doing virtual surveying for example.
