    I'll try it but I think it not allows to have a sessadecimal degrees in my SU (360Β°=400Β°).
    Anyway thank you very much... bye

    Lorenzo,

    I don't understand what you are asking. What is sessadecimal?

    Hi

      πŸ˜’ Wikipedia doesn't have anything on it and a Google search reveals a total of 5 hits, none of which tells you exactly what it is.

      Looking at the above posts gives you some idea as to what "sessadecimal" is and its application.

        "SEXADECIMAL" is a common misspelling or typo for: hexadecimal

          I think lorenzo's refering to grads.

          "The grad is a unit of plane angle, equivalent to 1⁄400 of a full circle, dividing a right angle in 100." to quote wikipedia.

            intersting...
            did you already try to multiply the values in the hexadecimal(degree) column (in excel or oOcalc) with 0.9? then afaik the point cloud script shouldn't have any probs πŸ˜•
            please correct me if i'm wrong.

              Well, Guys, "seesadecimal" is a kind of Italian version of what in Greeek is "hexadecimal". The original Latin word for 6 is sexwhile seiin Italian. so it means he wants 60 degrees instead of 360 (this 60 can be - and usually is - further divided by 1000 for better precision).

              Just remember those action movies where the soldiers tell each other "missile at 15:00 hours". This would be in the same "sessadecimal" angle counting. 15 hours = 90 degree etc.

              In other words, in this system, 1 "sessadecimal" degree is equal to 15 "normal" degrees.


              Hm... FYI - as for why I am such a smart a** - I sereved in the army as an artillery scout which is rather something like a surveyor and we used the same system πŸ˜‰

              Gai...

                  Usually people use degrees that are 360Β° for a full circle
                  I'm looking for a different system: a full circle is 400Β°
                  This system is used in Italy by surveyors because they can divide the circle in more units.
                  Our total stations use this system. So when I import a dwg in sketchup I would like to use it.
                  Anyway...thank you very much to everyone
                  Bye mates πŸ˜„

                    Well, maybe I have misunderstood then... πŸ˜’
                    I'm surely just an a** (and not a smart a**)

                        but I STILL like the eplanation for hexadecimal... I always saw that on my calculators and wondered 'what in the world is that?' πŸ˜„
