Daniel i find myself using "AAA" expensive software and they do have indeed a very good way to automate all the workflow and to give you back the full aligned cloud.

However this is what you get when your site workflow is "flawless".

There were some cases where big "jumps" or small overlaps (or ...

Manual rough alignment is often required even with expensive closed source software (Leica, Faro).

Quick & dirty

OK it is confirmed it is a dumb question:

i didn't noticed that "Coord.Z" is the name of the scalar field that indeed i created and THEN applied some transforms.
Maybe its good to have a suffix to that label. "SF Coord.Z =" to have a nice "first glance ...

That is a wise request

Hello there,

there is something i can't get even after some time spent tweaking and checking my setup.

For i have a world-coordinates-referenced point cloud,

a -yellow- plane (set wireframe) which is set to be on Z=1000

here the screenshots:

What you are trying to achive is not clear.

Wireframe is about edges
Point clouds can be seen as "display only vertices"

Then there is face shading, which can be solid or can have some transparency. that's pretty all

Maybe you mean wireframe with "clipping" or depth brush

achiveable in Blender ...

using global scale?

That's great.
Thank you Daniel

I confirm point picking is now working on wireframe meshes.

it works with the tool AND by SHIFT clicking "on the fly" mode.

I assume that small errors in a strictly defined plane, where the Y is set to 0, and normal is pointing in integer direction, are ...

Up! i've read once again this and thinked it can be simpler than that...

just handle the vertices as points (regular plain "point cloud" point) WHILE in wireframe mode

Those little squared dots are messed up vmem. 99% chance here that the graphic driver is the only one "guilty"
