Scale change not included in e57 Export

I'm an artist using CC visually (so not coming from a very technical/surveying background) and wanted to make two clouds the same scale, so I used 'Edit-Multiply/Scale to do this. All looks great in CC and when I export and reimport using .bin all is fine. BUT when I export as e57 the scale changes are lost and the cloud appears at its original size. Can you help, as I am really stuck with this? Thanks

Hum, that's super weird. Especially since CloudCompare doesn't handle units and saves the coordinates as they are displayed/stored in memory.

Has any of your clouds a 'Global Scale' different than 1 (when you load the cloud - but you'll only see the dialog if the coordinates are very large, and generally CC never suggests to change the global scale).

Don't hesitate to share the BIN file with me (admin [at] cloudcompare.org)

Hi Daniel
Any updates on this thread. Facing the same issue with a UAV scan.

I haven't heard back from the previous user. I would need sample files to try to reproduce the issue on my side...
