Open LP360 or ArcMap with the LP360 for ArcMap extension loaded results in the error, “Loading Stored Filters failed. (17894)”, with the description of “The XML file is not a ‘Stored Filters’ format XML document. (10343) The filters.xml file found in the user’s “C:\Users\%user%\AppData\Roaming\LP360”, where %user% is the currently logged in Windows user, has somehow…
On the LP360 QA/QC Toolbar there is the option to add rectangular, circular, or polygonal area issues. After digitizing your area of interest, a dialog appears with some generic issue types in a dropdown menu. If you need to add a custom issue type, simply click in the dropdown to add your own issue description.…
When your data needs to be in a coordinate system that is not specified in LP360, you may need to create a User-Defined Coordinate System. One of the easiest ways to do that is by modifying a Known Coordinate System. For ease of demonstration I have color coded a User-Defined Coordinate System with what has…
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…
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…
While executing a Point Cloud Task, a dialog box appears with the message: “An error occurred expanding environment variables in the path: “. Verify the Environment Variable is defined in the System Properties of this computer.” Verify the Input/Output settings are correct for the Point Cloud Task(s). You may be able to see a blank…
