LiDAR (.las) files in CONNECT

Katie Wade

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?

We're evaluating Openroads Connect Edition and one thing we're having problems with is the scaling of point clouds. I have converted the same LAS file using GeoPak and have not had any problems. The scale seems to be 3X the Geopak POD file and what dimensions…

Background I am using MicroStation V8i w/ GEOPAK SS2. I obtained a ton of LiDAR data that covers about a 12-mile-by-2-mile area. The LiDAR data exclude all the surface waters (such as ponds, wetlands, rivers, and creeks) that are wider than 50 feet. The…

Re: Convert LIDAR data

Extract XYZ should work but does not provide the filtering and thinning that you desire. You would end up with all umpteen gajillion points, when what you really want to do is thin the number of points to a managable size. My experience with the…
