Starting with 2018.1, LP360 relies on a hosted license manager (Reprise License Manager or RLM). It requires an active connection between the client and server machine for license management and software use. RLM does not rely on Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) nor Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols for Client-Server communications.
LASer (LAS) File Format Exchange Activities What is the LAS Format? The LAS file format is a public file format for the interchange of 3-dimensional point cloud data data between data users. Although developed primarily for exchange of LIDAR point cloud data, this format supports the exchange of any 3-dimensional x,y,z tuplet. This binary file format…
If you have a river polygon that has been downstream constrained you may wish to QC your work to ensure the downstream constraint result is as desired. LP360 has a Downhill Vertical Test which does not work on polygons, but does work on polylines. This article covers how to test and correct downhill continuity on…
If asked by support, the following two code snippets when copied and pasted into a text document and saved as “EnableDispatchLogs.reg” and “DisableDispatchLogs.reg” respectively will enable/disable dispatch logs on the GeoCue Server machine when imported to the registry and the GeoCue Server service restarted. Import the EnableDispatchLogs.reg file using admin rights After importing, restart the…
The surface method defines how z or elevation values are determined when exporting a surface or comparing control points to a surface. Each surface method implements a different way of interpolating elevations from LIDAR points. The following describe the surface methods in more detail. Triangulation (TIN)TIN (Triangulated Irregular Network) partitions a surface into a set…
The following are some common errors encountered while trying to add a custom WMS layer to LP360 and their probable resolutions. When adding the URL link to the WMS Server URL dialog the user encounters an error, “URL must end in a question mark, and be in the following form: http://<server>/<path>?” Probable Resolution #1: Be…
When generating intensity rasters using the LP360 Export Wizard or LDExport one has the option of generating the raster using Point Insertion or Triangulation surface methods. Click here to see the raster bit depth available for these raster export formats. Surface Method Type: Triangulation Point Insertion Description Generates a Triangular Irregular Network (TIN) and probes…
The USGS composed a short video for the basics of importing data into the LP360 Viewer, how to visualize the data in 2D and 3D, change the visualization using toolbar functions, and turn on all or specific LIDAR point Classes. Some aspects of the product pertaining to Live View have changed in the releases after…
If you already have LAS files and an index for those LAS files you can skip some of the processing steps typically performed when starting from LAS Source Strips. Start by creating your Working Segment entities using a pre-existing compatible shapefile or CAD file. Next, attach the LAS files to the Working Segment entities following…
