Hello. 

I have unfortunately worked and scanned in danish system34 by accident with the Trimble SX10. 

How do i transform a pointcloud from one system to another in Trimble Buisness Center? 

The original preferred coordinate system should have been danish DKTM3.

Hi Emil,

If you want to transform field data between tow defined coordinate systems:

1) Open TBC
2) Drag and drop your field JXL
3) Go to Project Settings -> Coordinate System -> Change
4) Your data should get recalculated.

To test it, after 2) but before 3) Select two random points from the point cloud. Draft a linestring between them.
Proceed with 3) and 4).
Points should have changed. But not the linestring, linesting should no longer start and stop at the exact points from the cloud.
