I tried to insert countour lines to my pointcloud. The contour lines are .shp-files. I followed your tutorial on Youtube with the test data package but i keep getting the error messages:

Unfortunately, i don't have much experience with JavaScript and HTML and I can't figure out what the problem exactly is. I code only in python. What can I do to fix this? I hope that this information is sufficient!

Hey Chris, Maybe, we'll see - from this info i think the issue is you are not running potree in a webserver. See your file url-s start with the "file://" protocol, so i assume you just opened the local file from total commander or windows explorer and dropped it in your browser, is that correct? I think the fix would be quite easy in your case, just navigate to your project directory, open a command line, and start the basic python webserver in that folder. it's something like "python3 -m http.server". I'm under linux now, but it should be identical under windows. After this, go to your browser and type "127.0.0.1:8000/main.html" or something as your url. This should fix it.
