Hello! Currently I am on a trial of Pix4dSurvey after using Pix4dmatic for about 6 months now. My team is trying out Survey to see if we are able to combine two different datas from the same site. Last summer during our fieldwork we scanned a site using Matterport cameras, from there we were able to create a .las file which we are hoping to overlay on top of our aerial photogrammetry from this past summer.

However…the .las files from Matterport do not have a coordinate reference system which is making it difficult to overlay in most software.

Is this something that can be done in PIX4Dsurvey?

Hello [hleggett](https://community.pix4d.com/u/hleggett),

With survey you can use the [Manual Registration](https://support.pix4d.com/hc/en-us/articles/5048483029277) to align projects

For that you need to create **at least three markers on well-identifiable features in both projects.**

And use the manual registration to reference the las file to the aereal project.

I hope this option can help you solve your problem.

All the best

Rafel

Hi. I am trying to do Manual registration and i couldn’t get it right. When i load a laz file from magic and try to click the register button, it doesn’t work.

Hi @rayavarapunani, as mentioned by Rafel, did you add _at least three markers on well-identifiable features in both projects_?

Once I add the data, in spite of enabling view on the subsequent data Laz, I couldn’t see the data. I have put a service ticket.
