CloudCompare forum

is there a way to definitely apply temporary global coordinates shift to a cloud to save cleaned coordinates?

I open a cloud whith a good global shift... but when I save global coordinates are re-added :( ... this is great when I want real placing, but I need to real move point near origin...

I also try 2.5.6 beta but I don't find a way to to that.

thanks,
CloudCompare is really a great software... with this features solve me a lot of trouble...

Yeah, simply edit the Global Shift/Scale information (Edit > Edit global shift and scale) then reset all the values (i.e. 0 for all translation values and let 1 for the scale).

yeahhh... It works... so simple!!
thanks a lot

Hi everyone,

thanks for the description. I can use now cloudcompare and I even figured out the shifting. I have only one problem:

The shifting is not permanent.

I looked everything up but after closing the session the coordinate system is resetted. I cant find any "save" button or something simelar. The only thing I found was in

Edit –> Edit global shift and scale

There I can theoretically reset the transformation to a new one but i couldnt save that either.

Tanks for help.

Have you saved the entity? You must highlight it and then use 'File > Save'.
