I’m trying to build VTK 9.3.0 with the remote module via these instructions:
To use PoissonReconstruction in VTK:
1. Download [PoissonReconstruction.remote.cmake](https://github.com/lorensen/PoissonReconstruction/blob/master/PoissonReconstruction.remote.cmake) and place it in your _VTK/Remote_ directory.
2. Reconfigure your VTK build with _cmake_
3. Enable the remote module by setting _Module\_PoissonReconstruction:BOOL=ON_.
I build VTK, but I can’t figure out how to include this in my project.
also, it looks like the remove module is NOT built during the build process.
I’m on Windows 11 using Visual Studio 2022.
Does this remote module still work?
Thanks
Rick

Hello,
Are you trying to build VTK or the example?

For VTK 9, remote modules are enabled like this:
```
VTK_MODULE_ENABLE_VTK_PoissonReconstruction:STRING=YES
```
But I don’t know if PoissonReconstruction will compile.

Hi!, i just wanna know if you have figure it out how to compile PoissonReconstruction. I followed the steps with the .remote.cmake pasted in the remote file and after generating the files, and compiling with Ninja, it doesnt appears in the build folder neither in the install folder. Any solution?
Best,
JO

Hello,
A good way to start is to share the error messages you got.

Hello, thanks for your replay. Just for context, im trying to run this example code in qt compiling with MSCV 2022 and VTK 9.5
So basically i followed the instructions and everything, but when i `#include ` says that cant open the file.
.\vtkPoissonReconstruction.h(38): fatal error C1083: Impossible d’ouvrir le fichier includeÿ: 'PoissonReconstructionModule.h’ÿ: No such file or directory
In the meantime im reinstalling the build and install folder to see if i missed something. Any ideas can help me
Thanks very much

Hello,
If you’re experiencing trouble compiling the PoissonReconstruction example, please, take a look at this: [PoissonReconstruction](https://discourse.vtk.org/t/poissonreconstruction/4777) .

Hello,
I already read that post and i quite old because i dont see any Powercrust in the vtk 9.5, thats why i reasked in this one that started with VTK 9.3, much closer. And also, i only see the VTK\_MODULE\_ENABLE\_VTK\_PoissonReconstruction:STRING=YES mentioned before but its not appearing in the build folder nor the install folder.
So i cant find a solution to finally make it work my simple cpp code with the Poisson Reconstruction.
best regards

Hello,
Please, don’t disregard old content on sight. You might be surprised by how some posts from 15-20 years ago, from the time of the e-mail feeds, are still useful. That said, I must ask what steps described there have you tried.
best,
PC

Hi!,
Thanks for your time explaining that, i will count on that in the future. Talking about the module, i switched to SurfaceReconstructionFilters to try other approaches.
Thanks again for your time
Best

That error may be caused by something prior. The entire log would be most useful. Alternatively, you can try to locate the first error that appeared.
