Align model axes with coordinate system
« on: October 20, 2018, 12:28:41 AM »
Is there a way to ensure that the XYZ axes in the model window are aligned exactly with the model's coordinate system?  For example, I'm working with images captured in the WGS84 coordinate system.  After aligning the images, Photoscan generates a sparse point cloud and bounding box (region) with X, Y, and Z axes that seem randomly rotated relative to the coordinate system.   I would like to fix the X and Y axes to point to true North and East, and for the Z direction to be vertical, but I haven't found a way to rotate the axes so they're aligned exactly with the WGS84 coordinates.  I can select "rotate region" to rotate the model by eye until the axes look fairly close to alignment with the coordinate system, but this is just an approximation.  How can one actually specify the axes to align exactly with WGS84 or any other coordinate system (northing & easting, local coordinates, U.S. State Planes coordinates, etc.)?
