how to set plane

[Mattbro]

Hi all,

I am a very new user and I have an stl file that I have open in CloudCompare. I need to change the orientation of my scan so that when I click on the front view, back view, etc. planes the scan is oriented in a specific way. How do I rotate my scan to change this orientation?

Thanks!

There are different ways, but the simplest is the 'Edit > Translate/Rotate' tool (https://www.cloudcompare.org/doc/wiki/i ... ation_Tool)
