maybe I wrong something, but I can’t to mesh a “surface” cloud… there are always a kind of thickness. Why??
That’s how Sequoia works at the moment - it creates a closed, air-tight, 3D-printable volume. By reducing the Radius you might be able to make it thinner, but it will always be two-sided.
Creating a single, one-sided surface passing through the points is on our ToDo list and we are working on it, but it might not make it into the v1.0 release.
sorry but this “solid meshing” approach is a great limit in our works. We use laser-scanner in quite high precision surveying, so we need to keep minimum distance from pointcloud points and resulting triangulation. If meshing algorithm use a default “radius” offset of several mm or more to create a solid surface around theoric measured surface I have 2 really bad results:
- a great constant distance error in meshing step greater than scanner precision;
- more than double count of triangles in mesh.
I think a lot about that approach but I can’t find a benefit in that result in our works, however I think to knows advantages in your targets.
So, our greatest interest is in developing “single surface meshing tools” when it appear in road map
…
same here . … workflow seems nice and easy
loading as well as viewport-performance nice too
we didn’t get the hacksaw feature to run (to complete the task) - perhaps our pointcloud was to high-res. although eugine’s demo file was even bigger in size?!
a real show-stopper at the moment is the solid meshing
we also got a lot of stripes in the geometry that we had to counteract with high subsampling and filtering (both not desirable cause the first one really hits on computing time - the other one in blurry smooth meshes)
hope there will be more meshing algorithms soon (if somehow possible)
perhaps you keep beta up until you sequoia can do that trick?! really fear that most of the people that die for a triangulation software right now are thinking this way 
I would agree.
Double sided mesh with radius would be of limited use in our pipeline also.
Although in some limited cases it would be helpful.
The upshot is from our production pipeline point of view accurate single sided meshes would be of higher priority than double sided.
Thank you.
