Rotate
Rotate command lets you rotate a point cloud interactively. The point cloud is rotated around a center point and only in horizontal direction.
To rotate a point cloud:
1. Select Rotate command from the Measurement pulldown menu.
This opens the Rotate measurement dialog:
2. Define settings.
3. Place a data click inside a view in order to define the center point of the rotation.
If the mouse pointer is moved, a temporary line illustrates the base line for the rotation.
4. Place another data click inside the view in order to define the origin point of the rotation (= end point of the base line).
If the mouse pointer is moved, a temporary line illustrates the direction and angle of the rotation.
5. Place another data click inside the view in order to define the destination point of the rotation (= rotation direction and angle).
This rotates the point cloud to the new position.

Points that are effected by the rotation: points from all scans or only from one specific scan. The list contains all scan numbers that are available in the loaded point cloud. |
Rotate |
Rotation method: •By mouse clicks - source and target points for computing the transformation are defined manually. No additional settings are required for this method and the Fit targets window is opened without any entries. •By normal vectors - rotate the cloud to make the dominant normal vector direction point up. •90 deg clockwise - 90 degrees around vertical axis in clockwise direction. Sample center defines the rotation center point. •180 deg - 180 degrees around vertical axis. Sample center defines the rotation center point. •90 deg counter clockwise - 90 degrees around vertical axis in counter clockwise direction. Sample center defines the rotation center point. |
Apply to trajectories |
If on, the rotation is applied to active trajectories / scanner positions. |
Apply to images |
If on, the rotation is applied to the loaded image list. |
