How to use Georeferencing using survey points in ReCap Pro

[Anonymous]

I Have 7 points on the first scan, I also try to georeference but when I return to the project nothing happens.

Please someone post the workflow on how to georeference a point cloud with REAL coordinates taken by total station.

I believe this method is widely documented if you search for it

For what it's worth, I'm having the same problem as the OP. I've followed all the official documentation, including what you've linked to above, but no matter what I do, after I select all the points and match them up with my survey control points/coordinates, the point cloud remains in arbitrary coordinates, rather than absolute coordinates.

Ah, the trick is to set the right coordinate system during scan import (it's hidden in the advanced tab). Then things work. This isn't mentioned in any of the documentation - I found it by chance and through trial and error.
