Problem

Is it possible to use point cloud or reality mesh information to populate elevations in Terrain Extractor?

Problem ID#: 67897

Solution

No, it is currently not possible to automatically extract and assign elevations based on point cloud or reality mesh information in Terrain Extractor (as of
June, 2017). You will need to first convert them to a contour DTM (DXF, shapefile, TIN, raster), which can then be used in Terrain Extractor.
