If your point cloud is still in spherical coordinates with the origin at the scanner that created the point cloud its a pretty trivial exercise to generate a short script that turns it into an STL. I was faced with that problem Sunday. Mind, if your scanner is one of those where you have the object you are scanning on a turntable things can get a bit tricky...

Thanks Bob! I tried what you did and upped the ante to a 30 degree step angle to give your fix an acid test under more rigorous conditions and although it took a long time to process, it worked perfectly.
Interestingly, when I did the simplify mesh I didn't lose any vertices at all, but it worked afterwards all the same. Apparently "simplify the mesh" isn't exactly the same thing...

If you have time to take a look, you can download the aoi file I was using in zipped format at...

If you try to do a boolean union between
Inner Loop extruded
and
Milling cup
You'll see the behaviour I've encountered.

I started out working with version 2.6 and then shifted to 2.7 to see if that would help. No joy. :-(.

Recently, I developed an app that generates the perimeters of a thrust plate for a CNC milled stepper motor that I am doing as part of the Reprap project. Rather than write a script to generate the perimeter in AoI, I wrote and debugged it in VB.NET which generated a text file with the coordinates of the vertices of the perimeters and then wrote a quickie tool script to read in the perimeter in...
