Hi all,

I am new to ShapeWorks and is having troubles to get it working. I downloaded the executables for windows (since I cannot find the source code I assume it is sufficient) and tried to run it on my own dataset (.vtk format).

My problem is simple: nothing comes up. I wrote a .params file (and a .xml as well) similar to the one in the torus example, add the folder to my system path, cd to the data folder and run

..\ShapeWorksGroom ID.preprocess1.params isolate hole_fill center auto_crop  (note I only changed the name of parameter file and names of input and output files inside)
just like in the example. However, nothing happens.
(I mean there are no output files, and it does not feel like running anyrthing)

But if I only type in

..\ShapeWorksGroom

Then the prompt returns a string of the usage of ShapeWorksGroom, so I know it recognize the command.

I think there may be some steps I am missing. Any ideas?

P.S.: I also tried to type in some random strings behind ..\ShapeWorksGroom, something like

..\ShapeWorksGroom sfdvgsbvdsf

And the outcome was the same, no output, no error prompt, nothing. Hope this information helps.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Long
