[Insight-users] Compile time issue SimpleITK-0.7.1.post1 in Visual Studio 2012

[Matias Montroull]

Thanks for the feedback.

I'm trying to get the cloud points of a skin Dicom volume. Basically the
coordinates of each point in the skin to be used for calibration with NDI
tracker. Not sure what other method I can use in C#. I was pointed to the
ExtractSurface.cxx example and it uses that Mesh class.

Matias.
