Introduction: LP360 and True View EVO are a family of point cloud exploitation tools for both native Windows (“standalone”) and the ArcGIS® desktop platform. LP360 for ArcGIS is the world’s most popular extension to ArcGIS for point cloud visualization, editing and information extraction tool set for ArcMap®. Like ArcGIS itself, it is a 32-bit application. LP360 for ArcGIS…
When generating a GeoTIFF Ortho using Metashape through LP360, the initial file is written in BigTIFF format which is incompatible with some CAD software packages, including Civil3D. There are also size considerations to be factored in as orthos that are generated in TIFF format are subject to the 32-bit size limit of 4GB. This article…
LP360 and True View Evo can handle importing many LAS files to a single LAS Layer, however, there is a limitation for importing many LAS files at one time using the normal Microsoft browse files dialog that is used by the typical add files process. If the user hits this limit, an “Inadequate Buffer Allocation:…
Receive an error message, “Executing task(s) failed (8690)” while trying to execute a Point Cloud Task. LP360 ErrorExecuting task(s) failed. (8690)Exception Information:HRESULT: 0x80004005Unable to retrieve extended COM error information. This is a catch all error message that generally occurs when something caused the PCT to fail in its execution. Verify the parameters for the desired…
In LP360 and True View Evo, set the profile view based on the direction of a feature for an automatic perpendicular profile view. This ensures that the drawn profile line is always centered on and perpendicular to the line or polygon feature direction. In Feature Analyst ->Navigation options, choose to center vertex and the profile…
Currently some 3rd party software suites still only allow importing of LAS version 1.2, by default TrueView EVO/LP360 Drone encodes LAS in version 1.4. This leads to users seeking a way for converting TrueView data to LAS 1.2. The user cannot downgrade LAS 1.4 file to 1.2 in the export dialog, because the LAS 1.4…
Adding a GeoTIFF generated by LP360 to ArcGIS does not show in the correct location. Currently ArcGIS, including 10.x and Pro, does not have a full implementation of Well Known Text (WKT) format for projection definitions in .prj format, specifically the COMP_CS tag and the way it handles False Easting and Standard Parallels. This issue…
LP360’s Adaptive TIN Ground Filter is designed to classify a ground surface from point data. There are multiple parameters within the filter, especially when using the Advanced Options. The following chart and additional graphics are a summary and general guidelines for setting the parameters. Seed Sample Distance Grid size for initial seed surface. Smaller is…
For Reprojecting Vector Features, use the Add Files dialog and go to the Feature tab. There is a checkbox in the lower section of the dialog to Transform Feature Files to Map SRS (Figure 1). The user may need to create a new EVO project with the desired target coordinate reference system (CRS). Note: EVO does not currently support on-the-fly…
