Ruben,
As said in my original post, if you don't want to project onto a surface, you can use the '3D inspection' tool to create a 3D inspection cloud: each point of this cloud will store its distance to the other surface. You can then visualize and analyze this cloud using these stored distances. Is this the kind of thing you're looking for?
Thanks,
Thomas

Re: Cloud comparison software
Hi Thomas,
just came across your post and I am a little curious since I tried that in Realworks but failed.
Is there a how to or tutorial you can provide?

Rob

Re: Cloud comparison software
Hi Rob,
Running the tool is pretty straightforward: select two point clouds or a point cloud and a mesh, then, in Production configuration, go to Inspection>3D Inspection and start the tool. All you need to do next is press 'Preview'.
Once the inspection cloud is computed, you may filter it or create it directly. When the object is saved, you can run '3D inspection analyzer' to edit the color bar, filter using the distance histogram, or automatically extract clusters, e.g., objects that moved between the two scans.
I hope this helps.

Thomas
