Level Tools

Post by tsyxulei »

Hi
When I use "Level Tools" for leveling cloud ,the first clicked point can not be used as origin for the new coordinate system. Could you give me some suggestion ? Thank you very much

What do you mean by "can not be used"? The first clicked point is always used as the origin (at least if should be ;).

Hi daniel
Thank you for your reply. When I used "Level tool", it will leveling cloud which is parallel to XOY plane ,the X axis is parallel to second select point, the Y axis is parallel to third select point. If the source cloud is parallel to XOY plane before leveling ,the result cloud will translate to first select point and the first select point coordinate will translate to origin(0,0,0). But, if the source cloud is not parallel to XOY plane before leveling, the result cloud will not translate to origin and the first select point coordinate is not origin.

It took me some time, but I finally looked at the code of the Level tool.

In fact, contrarily to what the documentation says, the tool does not use the first point as origin!
