Freeze Transformation for Save

[akuzminykh]

Hi, how to freeze a transformation in CC, i.e. set it to identity, to save a transformed point cloud as it is? I have a point cloud from a PCD file that I transform via the "Apply transformation" function on the cloud node to align the content with the axes. Now when I save this transformed point cloud as a PCD file and open that file, the displayed point cloud has the wrong location and orientation. What is the correct workflow?

Which version are you using?

In older versions, the 'sensor' part of the PCD file was ignored (i.e., when the entity was transformed, the sensor was not updated). Now in the latest 2.13.x versions, it is correctly updated.

So either you need to upgrade CloudCompare, or if it's the latest version, then you may want to delete the 'sensor' object below the cloud before saving it.
