Variable Rotation

Post by Tom_V »

Hi,

I have a point cloud of a valley that need to be rotated by 209/50 (dip direction°/dip angle°) at one end and 240/25 at the other. I would like to roughly produce a transition between these two ends of the valley. I was going to break the cloud down into multiple segments and rotate each by an increment between the two end values. This is a little messy as it produces overlaps and gaps. I was wondering whether there is an automated and smoother means of achieving what I plan to do by hand? Apologies in advance if there is an obvious answer, I am definitely a beginner with cloudcompare.

Many thanks

Tom

Hum, that would look like a smooth interpolation between two transformations based on their relative distance?

There's no function to do that in CC. The code to compute this interpolation exists, but then to make a tool out of it would require some good development skills (and time ;).
