Scan location coordinates

Post by robispier »

Hello!

How can I extract the location (XYZ) of a specific scan?
I'm loading multiple e57 files into CC and want to get the scan position in relation to world coordinates system.
Thanks!

Depending on the contents of the E57 file, you may have below each scan (cloud) a 'TLS/GBL' object in the DB tree. It's a 'sensor' entity. If you highlight this sensor entity, you can read its 'Box center' (should be the sensor optical center). And you can also see the 'Position / Orientation' matrix if you need more information.
