Coordinate Transformation

[radde1683]

Hey,

I want to transform my coordinates of a single point cloud only. I think it should be pretty easy to do, but I dont find a right function to do so (maybe apply transformation?). I just want one point (e.g -5, 6, 9) to be the origin of my coordinate system (0,0,0).

Also is there any way in CC to show/mark the 0,0,0 point of the coordinate system by e.g a red dot ot something like that?

Thank you

Yes you should use 'Edit > Apply Transformation'. But assuming your origin is (0, 0, 0) by default, and you want a point (X, Y, Z) to become the new 'origin', you should apply the opposite translation: (-X, -Y, -Z).

And to see where the origin is, you can simply create a small sphere with the 'Primitive Factory' (https://www.cloudcompare.org/doc/wiki/i ... ve_Factory). Spheres are created centered on (0, 0, 0) by default. And you can either set the right radius when you create it, or change it afterwards via the sphere properties.

Thank you really much!
