Information regarding the tools available in LP360.
Problem: There are some situations that can cause there to be a mismatch between surface elevations between tiles. This can become apparent in the vicinity of waterbody breaklines where a tile covers the water but only overlaps with a single shoreline. In this scenario, the surface generation process cannot consider the influence of breaklines on…
Problem: While attempting to execute a conflate point cloud task the user receives an “Executing task(s) failed. (8690) Unexpected error in ILPBrkLineEnforcer:GetLayerName(). (17486)” COM Exception. Probable Resolution: The root cause of this error tends to be that one of the layers listed in the breakline enforcement is not valid. Either the file no longer exists…
As many of you who are involved in LIDAR breakline collection know, we added some very nice feature edit tools to the Standard level of LP360 (Windows standalone version). One of these tools, “Create Features from Selected Features” is a very handy utility tool. Its basic function is to collect features you have selected with…
There are many tools and keyboard shortcuts that exist within the LP360 product suite, including LP360 for ArcGIS, LP360 for Windows, LP360 for sUAS, and LP360 for GeoCue. Remembering all of them and where to find them may prove difficult, particularly for beginner or casual users. To help we’ve created tool guides that provide the…
With the release of LP360 v2017.1 we began recommending that users create their breaklines using LP360 instead of the previous recommendation of using the LP360 Sketch tool in LP360 for ArcGIS. One common question that has come up is how does one create a flat 2D feature and put the summarize Z results in the…
A recent USGS addendum to the LIDAR Base Specification has stated that “User-defined entities will not be allowed for capturing specific geoid information in the WKT”. LP360 (v2015.1.76.15 or later) In order to remove this information from the VERT_CS WKT being included in LP360 generated WKTs it is necessary to replace the following file(s): “C:\Program…
Problem: An LP360 crash can occur when attempting to read in a lot of files. This can occur when opening the ‘Add Files’ dialog and browsing to the files’ location to add them into the session. Due to the way that browsing control works, this can get overwhelmed with a large number of files, causing…
Buffer classifications (or Ignored Ground in the USGS Lidar Base Specification) are those classes that are assigned to LAS points that are within a user defined-distance of breaklines. Points that are assigned to these classes are excluded from the surface when using breakline enforcement. Typical distances used are one quarter to one half the nominal…
Problem: Trying to load LIDAR Server (www.lidarserver.com) in Microsoft Edge browser and the load doesn’t complete. No errors, just no project list. Probable Resolution: Clear the cache in Edge and refresh the page. To clear cache data in Edge, click the ellipsis (…) located at the top right corner -> Settings -> Choose What to…
LP360 now has a full set of feature analysis and editing tools for working with the geometries of features – points, lines and polygons – in your project[1]. As often happens with LP360 features, the initial driver for adding this capability was a very specific problem; editing the toes of stockpiles being used in volume…
