adjust real world size (meters?)

Question

Can the map real world size/measurement value be adjusted?

I'm using some models from cloud compare and the sizes don't match. my models (of a neighborhood) are about 85% sized when layed over the arcGIS SDK for unity map.

I thought both environments where measured in meters, or is that wrong?

They aren't terribly large models so it doesn't seem to be ellipsoid vs flat Cartesian coordinate type of a conversion issue. The streets are visible smaller when layed over the arcgis map in unity

O. M. G it works in global! 😀

I thought I tried that but I guess not. In global, I import the point clouds, set its corner point with a location component and it overlays correct.

In local mode, I would need to scale the point cloud up approx 1.2%

unless there is a setting to change that i might call that a bug? I was using local because I read somewhere in the docs that it was preferred for fine tune/measuring.

what I will be doing is basically laying large area point clouds over the map and need as much accuracy as i can

thanks man that was a life saver

Sorry didn't see your reply before my other one. Yes I will test that tomorrow and get back to u. I was testing in a local only, and to clarify I am using a plugin to import the .las to unity but looking at the coordinates it seems unit for unit the same as cloud compare unless i'm missing something.

Can you test these in a local and global map just to rule that out for me?
