This tool is use to create a triangulated mesh from a point cloud.
The method works by maintaining a list of points from which the mesh can be grown ("fringe" points) and extending it until all possible points are connected. It can deal with unorganized points, coming from one or multiple scans, and having multiple connected parts. It works best if the surface is locally smooth and there are smooth transitions between areas with different point densities.

Parameters:


Triangulation is performed locally, by projecting the local neighborhood of a point along the point's normal, and connecting unconnected points. Thus, the following parameters can be set:
