Coordinate system in Cloudcompare - how to find out the lat and long

Post by Ziziphus jujuba »

Hello, I am a new user here.
I'm wondering if I can find out the coordinate (as in latitude and longitude) of a point? Like in the image, I've selected a point, but the label display the coordinate as 343097.742 and 5755188.832001. What coordinate system are these numbers in?

Thanks!

Well, I believe only the LAS files currently would let you know the coordinate system (it should be saved as a "meta-data" in the cloud properties). Maybe E57 as well (not sure).

Most of the other file formats don't store this information.
