Mesh vs
This command calculates a color map to show the deviations between two objects.
Select the two objects to inspect and launch the command.
The first selected object is the reference object.
The second selected object is the measured object that will be projected on the reference.
The Mesh here is the measured object for the inspection.

Description of the command
The dialog box asks which object should be colored.
Custom resolution: Only available if colors are applied on an object other than a cloud. This option allows to choose the resolution of the inspection. This option is mandatory when comparing to a BIM object.
Force projection direction: If you choose not to force the direction, the software will search the closest point in 3D, else you have to enter a direction for the inspection.
Both sides: Only available if the direction is forced.
Max distance: Enter the threshold distance over which the points are considered as too far away. These points will not be used for the color map. The default value can be computed with the Restore default value button.
Keep only relevant points: This option allows to ignore points whose projections are on the free edges. This option will not be available if the reference object is closed.
Validate the command with OK, or, close the dialog box with Cancel.
Once the color mapping is computed, a special object is created with distance and color information. You can edit the colors by clicking on Edit Colors.
