GeorgeP,

IF your surfaces are originally planar, you might try using ParaView's Transform filter to translate your 'base point' to 0,0,0 and rotate, if needed, the data to get to get,  say x,y, to match the planar surface. One will then have, depending on what your datum set contains, the z-coordinate (or z-displacement) as an orthogonal measure of the other points' movement away from the planar surface.

IF you want to visualize the distortion, ParaView's Wrap filter will scale up the displacement values.

Thank you for the reply,
i immagine there is also no way to calculate or filter the amount of "bricks" outside their initial position
with a certain tolerance then?

    Thanks for clarifying. I cannot think of a filter or pipeline of
    filters that I can think of in ParaView to do this.

    Best,
