Yes, it can be confusing.

What happens is that if you georeference a point cloud with GCPs that have very large coordinates, all the aligned cloud coordinates will become very large. In which case you would lose numerical accuracy if the coordinates are kept as is, as CloudCompare stores them on ...

Yes, if you refer to the text in the dialog about the 'density' scalar field, or to the documentation: https://www.cloudcompare.org/doc/wiki/i ... n_(plugin)

(see the section about 'Using the output density'.

Ok, this should be fixed now! You can test the latest 2.14.beta version on Windows.

You can but not directly. You have to create a 'Coordinate system' (CS) object with the Primitive factory. Either you set the rotation point coordinates as the 4th column (3 first values), or you translate the create primitive with the 'Edit > Apply transformation' tool.

With such a primitive, when ...

Well, this can happen for particularly long processes. In which case you should just wait...

But we've worked on the progress bars and reactivity of the UI to avoid that recently. The latest 2.14.beta version (on Windows) should now behave a bit better in this regard.

Would you be able to share the E57 file with me? ([email protected])

Also, which version are you using exactly?

Ah, in this case you should first apply a translation to the rotation point (-Cx, -Cy, -Cz). Then apply the rotations only (about X, Y or Z). And last apply the inverse translation (+Cx, +Cy, +Cz).

Almost the same as me then... Strange.

I'll have to look at the code and try to imagine what can go wrong...

Hi, I created a github issue so as to give more visibility to the other CloudCompare's developers: https://github.com/CloudCompare/CloudCo ... ssues/2411

Yes, either you can double click on an existing point (or point on a mesh surface). Or you can use the 'Display > Camera settings' dialog, and set the 'rotation center' manually.

In any case, make sure you disable the 'auto' rotation center selection (either in the left-most toolbar, 6th icon ...
