Cloud/Point Transformation Tool
(PCITransfEdit)



Short Description

With this tool you can move, rotate or scale clouds or a set of points.

Usage

This tool works on selected clouds or points only, so you have to select them e.g. with the selection tool before. Then you can easily chose an action in the custom editor and apply it by mouse interaction or by entering discrete values. For rotation and scaling you need an associated point called Pivot or center point in the following, which is shown as purple marker in the 3D-window. This point defines the rotation- or scaling-center and may be positioned by the user (see subsection center point).

mode:

transform:

direct values:

Here you can enter exact values for x-, y- and z-directions. Apply the appropriate transformation by pressing the apply-button.

center point:

stepwise:

If you want to move or rotate the selection in defined steps, these settings are what you need. E.g. you can easily rotate your selection in steps of 45 degrees with this.
Tip: For easier and faster use, you alternatively can press the <shift>-key to toggle this function while interacting in the scene-window with the mouse.
