        <title>How would you slice this ?</title>
        <description> Hi,

I have generated a landscape with heightmap2stl.jar which appears to generates a .stl point cloud, see image.

Slic3er imports the file fine, and it looks nice, but the resulting layers are not connected, and there is no solid bottom.

How would you slice it to create a closed shape ?

Thank you</description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Thank you for the hint.<br />
I tried using Cura for slicing, and it did so without the need of remeshing.<br />
So I will probably just be using that for landscapes.<br />
<br />
Thank you]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ I would think you'd need to first convert the point cloud to a watertight mesh.  I've never done it, but I think meshlab can do it (plus it's free).  Google "convert point cloud to mesh" and you will get several links.  At least one of them is a youtube video for using meshlab to do this.]]></description>
