    Issue Exporting LAS file to a Format that uses US Survey Feet

    Applies To
    Product(s): Bentley Descartes
    Version(s): 08.11.09.578
    Environment: N/A
    Area: N/A
    Subarea: N/A

    Problem Description

    LAS files that were originally scanned in Survey Feet can be imported in Bentley Descartes retaining the same units. There is an option to use Survey Feet in the attachment options. However, the resulting POD file should not be exported using the LAS option. Currently Bentley Descartes will export using metres as the default unit. Attempts to export to LAS will result in the new LAS file being shifted from the correct origin.

    Resolution

    When Exporting a LAS file select the XYZ ASCII format. This will give the option to
    select US Survey Feet as the preferred unit ensuring that the scan position
    remains unchanged.
