No to All Global shift/scale

Post by geolux »

when import a pointcloud is very very helpful to use a Global shift/scale for large coordinate sistem. Is possible to use "Yes to All" when I'need to traslate all dataset, but why is not possible to add "No to All" when I don't want to trasle any one?
Thank you

I think I already explained on this forum why I can't let the user 'skip' the global shift too easily (the consequences can be terrible in terms of accuracy).

However, if you are sure that you really want to do this then here is a trick:
- go the 'File > Global Shift settings' and change the max absolute coordinate to something bigger than your coordinates (e.g. 10^8)
- load your file (CC won't complain anymore)
- restore the original Global Shift threshold! (of face the consequences ;)

Yes Daniel. I know what is the problem for the large coordinates. But in some cases the coordinate not is very larg, for example 300;200;150 and CC ask to traslate.
So, Thank you for your suggestions
