Scan station registration rotation about z-axis

  • 1.  Scan station registration rotation about z-axis

    Sometimes when I do a scan registration it will do its best fit and from whatever it finds, now my floor is no longer level. Is there a way to tell to only rotate about the z-axis?

    you actually want to rotate about the z??? i am not sure of an easy way to do this. but in theory you can use the georeference scan routine to adjust the scan vertically for sure. someone else will have to chime in to let you know if this routine will actually twist a scan, this i am not sure. it might only give best fit horizontal and vertical but not actually twist anything.

    Yes, only rotate about the z-axis (the z-axis being the elevation) so
    that a level floor remains level. I still would need to translate in any
    direction, but just don't want it tilted ever.
