Orienting Your Scan: Translate, Rotate, Scale & Ground Plane
After upload, your splat may need to be oriented correctly in 3D space. Splat Labs provides tools to:
- Translate β Move the scan's position in 3D space
- Rotate β Adjust the orientation and heading
- Scale β Resize the model if needed
- Ground Plane β Set a level reference plane so the model appears right-side up
How to Access the Orientation Controls
- Open your project in the Splat Labs viewer
- Access the Transform panel in the toolbar
- Use the sliders or direct input fields to adjust Translate, Rotate, and Scale
- Use the Ground Plane tool to level the scan automatically or manually
