Exporting point coordinates from a cloud in UTM?
Confused n00b here. Anyone know of a "straightforward" method for extracting point coordinates from a cloud in UTM (or other standard coordinate system?) Seems like it should be a simple task, but I have tried exporting the cloud points as xyz (produces weird coordinates from a system I don't recognize) and also tried the ScanTaxi Coordinate Exporter, which only produced coordinates for scan positions and targets (with no decimal places included). Basically I just need to get xyz coordinates for each point in the cloud into a tabular format. The end goal is to match cloud points to individual trees in a forest, for which I already have stem coordinates in UTM. Looks like the native gps on the Focus 3D X130 supports UTM, as it's listed under properties for each scan, however, I can't figure out how to extract coordinates for every point. Any insight is appreciated and sorry if this issue has already been addressed elsewhere.

Hi Brandon,
Our software can display or re-project your point cloud in any known coordinate system in real time. You can also add tags or measurements and export them all as a CSV file which you can then manipulate Excel, etc, as you see fit.
If you want a demo or example of doing this then please drop us a line via our website www.veesus.com
Many Thanks
