Elevation and orientation. Where you at Autodesk?

[matthew.ard2F7G4]

We should have the ability to select a point and change the property by entering a value for X,Y,Z.  The entire point cloud could then change position based on this change.  Also, it would be nice to rotate the entire point cloud based on a reference plane or line or property value and resave.

I don't care if it takes a long time to recalculate every point.  It's easier than going back to registration, changing it there and then exporting again.

Where you at Autodesk???

Absolutely agree! You always had this ability in Faro SCENE software!

I really like this idea.  ReCap can find the best fit for my overall floor and call this zero elevation.  Perhaps I can put all points, for my floor on a scan region and ReCap allows me to set this best fit to zero elevation (Z axis).  For orientation I can select two plant column faces to get my X and/or Y axis. BINGO!!!

I've been asking this for years.... https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/recap-ideas/translate-rotate-coordinate-system/idi-p/5721620

In Recap 6.1 they finally improved the Update Origin dialog. Now you can set the origin coordinates manually and give rotation angles around all three axes manually.

We'll see...

@matthew.ard2F7G4 I tried to close this as the comment mentioned a way to perform this request. Please let us know if you think further improvement needed and we can try to weigh it in.

Thanks.  I will get in there and test it, but won't be able to do it for a couple weeks.  I will respond after I prove it out.

Okay I was able to look at it this morning.

Is this coming through as an update?  I don't see any new tools or updates?  The update origin is still the same.  How do I go about updating the origin if I don't know where the model is located, in 3D space, relative to the origin to begin with?  Not to mention, there is no possible way to check this.  And what about rotation?
