Abstract
This article describes the functions that can be performed by CloudCompare, an open-source triangular mesh and 3D point cloud processing software developed through a collaboration between Telecom ParisTech and EDF R&D. CloudCompare software is used to study and analyze archaeological sites and create their 3D models. Helps engineers monitor the condition of bridges, roads, buildings, etc., identify problems and find solutions to eliminate them. The program provides a set of basic tools for editing and rendering. Some basic editing tools for working in the CloudCompare software are studied and demonstrated, such as cloning, cutting an element from the main object of study, scaling. It is concluded that the CloudCompare software is easy to use and effectively performs the functions contained in it.
