# 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]
> **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.
