It’s been a year now, is there any news on this? The likes on the post speak for themselves, customers want this feature.

Hi @SphaeroX
Our dev team is planning this feature, and the current situation suggests that it may be implemented in the second quarter of next year. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

Agreed @Revopoint-Cassie did the team successfully implement this feature yet
Sorry, not yet. After it is finished, we will announce it.

This is an essential feature for any 3D scanning software — really hope it gets added soon!

Yes that would be great , just remember not all software uses the same coordinate systems so for one the output may be ideal but not for the other . It is not universal for all software .

What do you mean with software not using the same coordinate system? Granted, there could be a difference of whether z or y is ”up”, but rotating/flipping in 90 degree angles is trivial in any sw I use. The challenge is to align a surface with any axis, the rest is easy. But perhaps there is software that does not use an orthogonal coordinate system, is that what you mean?

That’s what I mean.
Ouch, please make it happen! TUT
Id like to see this
Nessuna novità da parte del team?
Still waiting, it’s a pain trying to align in fusion.
Hi @river65 , in main time try Cloud Compare what is a free software , it will allow you not only change the scan origin but also manually align it or manually merge multiple scan with or with registration .
any tutorials on how to align to xyz coordinate system using cloud compare?
Full disclosure, there may be functionality in CC I’m not aware of that allows doing what you ask. I only use CC to do merge ops(registration) in cases I can’t get a merge result from RS I can live with. I do all my transformation in CAD.
CC isn’t really setup to do “exactly” what you are asking for. It will allow you to do what’s shown in the pic. You can also pick 3x points on a mesh, and orient that flat to Z. That function doesn’t put the part anywhere specific in X&Y. The toolbar icon for the Z orient op is a triangle with a curved arrow going counterclockwise next to the triangle.
Be aware that CC is using a lot of what we call “object-action” workflows. Object-action workflows are cases where we must select the object in order to enable the function. Meaning, if I hadn’t pre-selected the mesh in the picture example(red circle), the options to transform would not be enabled (they would remain greyed out).
Rhino is a cheaper option that I remember to have better mesh tools than autodesk. I haven’t looked at Revo QS (I have better tools in my CAD package). While RevoQS is indeed not Rhino / fusion pricing, it’s probably MUCH better enabled to do the things you are looking for than anything from autodesk will ever be.
