======Georeferencing point cloud using Control points=====


==== Step by step ====


  -   Extensions > Ground control points > add the points 
  -   Catalog > open the mobile mapping to georeferenced and choose “Georeference” 
  -   Under Tools > Georeference > Point cloud > Measure options > under 3D Hover select “Point cloud flat surface intersection” 
  -   Under Tools > Georeference > Point cloud > click each reference point in the “Georeference Point cloud Tab” using “Measure New Resource” 
  -   Choose a Method transformation > optimal for point cloud could be “Orthonormal XY” 
  -   Save the transformation 
  -   A new textfile with the georeference details will be made and saved under the same path as the location of the georeferenced > orbit_mapping_run.georeference.oxml. Deleting this file will delete the georeference.
