  • Creating a terrain from a point cloud without point classification

    I have a large point cloud attached to my file that has point shots for everything on the same classification. Therefore, I cannot turn off everything besides the ground shots to create a terrain surface for the existing ground of my project area. When…
  • LiDAR (.las) files in CONNECT

    I am not seeing the option in CONNECT to reproject a .las file like there was in SS10. I am able to right mouse click once attached and change the GeoCS, but is there a way to do that prior to importing the point cloud?
  • Drone aerial images importation

    Is there a way to import .tif aerial photos into Openroads Designer? I imported the point cloud and have created a terrain, but now I would like to import the .tif files that the drone captured. Is this possible to do? I'm working in OpenRoads Designer…
  • Point cloud imports for terrain model resulting in strange Z-values almost like segments (Cloudcompare to microstation)

    Hi, I'm using microstation V8i and cloudcompare v2.11.0. I've been using cloudcompare with LiDAR data to make terrain models of an area (mesh/surface). I wanted to have certain areas of more refined detail and some areas that didn't need it. I saved…
  • Deleting multiples vertices at once from terrain model.

    I am experimenting with OpenRoads and am trying to figure out if there is a better way of deleting non-ground points that made it through filtering and into my terrain model. In previous software, I would generate contours and then I could see obvious…
  • Filter points from LiDAR upon import to terrain model (or before?)

    I have LiDAR of an irregular stone object that I'm attempting to bring into Power GEOPAK as a terrain, using the "Create from Point Cloud" tool. It's working well, but my data needs cleaning up. In the process of importing, GEOPAK reports it filtered…
  • Filter points from LiDAR upon import to terrain model

    I have LiDAR of an irregular stone object that I'm attempting to bring into PowerGEOPAK as a terrain, using the "Create from Point Cloud" tool. It's working well, but my data needs cleaning up. In the process of importing, it is filtering out 90% of the…

  • Import the ESRI ASC file format into Point Cloud tools

    The ESRI ASC file format is typically a gridded data model extracted from an ESRI database. Typically, the files contain millions of points. The two examples I have now (that I am trying to figure out how to import) contain 9 million and 16 million…
  • PowerCivil Point cloud import failed

    When I try "Create Terrain From Point Cloud" the process fails. See attached image. The oroginal file is .pts and I imported it in Descartes and got a .pod file that I am now working with. What could be my problem?
  • Terrain Models from Point Clouds Issues

    Hi, There are some issues with Point Clouds and Terrain Models and I believe it is not WAD. 1) When we create Terrain from Point Cloud our source *.pod file is imported to temporary Point Cloud.xyz file in the background (behind the scene). This will…
