Simple Conversion

Post by sotjkd »

I have a point cloud with positive Z values and I simply want to make the Z values negative. I have look through the board but cannot find a way to do this simple task. Can anyone help.

Two options:
1) you can use the 'Edit > Scale / Multiply' method to multiply the Z coordinate by -1 (but is it really what you want?)
2) you can more simply translate the cloud along Z so as to make all Z values negative with 'Edit > Apply transformation' (second tab, leave the rotation to its default value and simply input a translation along Z).
