Set UCS by Pick

By Pick will allow the location of a pick point on the point cloud to adopt the coordinate set by the user, then optionally, the user can create a plane to set the X or Y axis.

To set a UCS by pick, the user should follow the steps below:

• Name the UCS.

• Select By Pick as the UCS creation method.

  • Enter coordinates of a point identified in the next step.

• In the main viewer, double-click the desired point in the cloud to set a vertex.

• This vertex will have coordinates entered.

•  At this point, the Create button can be clicked, and the point cloud’s coordinate system will be set from the vertex (5000,5000,100).

• Optionally, a plane can be created to represent either the X or Y axis.

•  A plane can be created from the whole wall or just a part of the wall.

Note: Limiting the area is useful for plane creation to valid data only.

• To limit the area of the plane, draw a fence around an area on the wall to highlight the area:

• Optionally, select Set X/Y Axis by plane.

• Double-click a wall to create a plane, and the plane region grower will create a plane.

• Click the plane to set the positive direction as shown by an arrow in the image above.

• Once completed, click Create to create the UCS.
