A Pennsylvania State University Student Project by Travis Meyer Introduction Mangroves fulfill an important niche in wetland ecology and play a significant role in modifying the global carbon budget. They harbor and provide shelter for the offspring of many species of water birds, fish, and reptiles, and sequester close to five times the amount…
When working with data in county coordinate systems, the definitions of datum transformations are important. The steps in this CueTip provide recommendations and an example of such a project; beginning from project setup, to selecting appropriate Coordinate Reference Systems (CRSs), to properly defining the coordinate transformations. Please consult with your surveyor to determine the appropriate…
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: While attempting to populate LAS Working Segments the process errors with an exception. In the system message column of the Checklist Step History you note the following exception: System.ArgumentException: Source array was not long enough. Check srcIndex and length, and the array’s lower bounds. at System.Array.Copy(Array sourceArray, Int32 sourceIndex, Array destinationArray, Int32 destinationIndex, Int32…
In the GeoCue Command Dispatch System (CDS) the Processing Priority (or simply priority) determines the processing order of subtasks that could otherwise process in any order. Priority in the CDS is a floating point number ranging from 0.0 to MAX_FLOAT. Higher values are considered higher priority. For example, assume that two LIDAR Orthos are in the…

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…
In the LP360 Add Files dialog there is a Compatibility Group column in the Advanced Columns that can be used to help understand why the LAS data file will be placed on the specified target Map Layer. The letter assigned in this column to each file contain some insight into which LAS files can go on…
The Set Attribute Checklist step can be used to allow a user of the GeoCue Client to manually set or modify attributes that are associated with the checklist’s entity or entities if more than one are launched from the Working Set at the same time. This is quite handy for providing necessary additional parameters when…
