Coordinate system for slam lidar
I have to do an interior scan without gnss using a slam scanner. All I need to do with the data is calculate a volume. What coordinate system would allow me to import a x,y,z cloud in meters? Thanks!

I would suggest just a simple Orthographic Projection with XY and Z units of meters. If you want to place the data, you could set the Central Latitude / Longitude of the projection to the actual ground location of whatever point ends up at the origin.
Thanks,
