Hello everyone

I have many LAS files which are stored in a local system (global shift = 0.0 0.0 0.0). I need to shift them to a global system like UTM32 (global shift = 32512000 5845000 0.0).

Is there a way to edit the global shift in command line mode, like you can do it in CC directly?

Maybe like: -SET_GLOBAL_SHIFT -32512000 -5845000 0.0

I tried to use the "-APPLY_TRANS" command. But since the shift is too far, I ran into coordinate accuracy problems because of the internal storage as 32 bit float values for the coordinates.

Hum, good point. Sadly I don't think there's any way to do it yet! That's something we should think about, I'll add this to the TOOD list.

Daniel is the dev so likely I'm wrong but on my eyes ehe op is asking for this command that yes is pressent in the command line:
"-O -GLOBAL_SHIFT"

-GLOBAL_SHIFT is different, as it will shift the coordinate (values) before storing them in memory. Here @PSpohn will need to virtually change the global shift, so that the points are changed at export time only...

Hello Daniel

Did you had time to implement my requested feature?

Ah no...
