Sensors placement - is there a tool that gives the parameters for the sensor's position? #846

Hey all,

I'm looking to add a few sensors to ego vehicle pointing to different direction. Editing and verifying with simulator takes a while to go back-and-forth. Is there a tool that gives me the parameters of x, y, z, pitch, yaw and roll depending on how I want the sensor to be placed?

Thanks.

@dr563105 We are working on web tools to place each sensor but it is not ready yet. I recommend running sim in editor, pause the sim, move the sensor to where you want it, then copy the transform data to replace the sensor params. We will also be releasing a way to visualize the sensor transform soon. We agree, we need to improve this workflow.
