Setting Coordinates in Dot3D

Quickly and easily establish a coordinate system for your scan data.

Easily manage your 3D coordinate system from right within Dot3D via the Coordinates tab. This capability is helpful for referencing known coordinates without targets, establishing an origin point for measurement purposes, and/or simply making sure your data comes in upright on the ground plane in downstream software applications.

Select your origin point (or any known xyz) and then utilize flat surfaces (i.e. floors/walls) in your scene to establish perpendicular axis directions. Alternatively, you may also select 3 unique points with known xyz coordinates to establish your coordinate system without relying on flat surfaces.
