Thank you for the quick response! I’ll have to look into the point properties a bit more as I’m not familiar with the terminology. (Like I said, very new and nothing makes sense yet) I have a turtlebot 2 with Kinetic and an Astra Orbec camera that I’m using to map my area. I’m following the mapping instructions on this tutorial:

http://wiki.ros.org/rtabmap_ros/Tutorials/MappingAndNavigationOnTurtlebot 

I can see the map in rviz but it doesn’t give me the coordinates of the points, only the robot poses. Are the robot poses based on a different coordinate system as well or is it also the origin of the map starting? I’ll definitely check out CloudCompare or Meshlab for getting the coordinates of the point cloud, thank you for that!
