Image Explorer Drive Method Setting
The Image Explorer Drive Method determines the method used to sort matching imagery. Range will sort images by shortest distance from the camera position XYZ to the projected XYZ. Photo Center will sort images by the shortest distance from the photo center to the projected raster column and row. GPS Time will sort images by…
Reformatting and tiling orthomosaic rasters
When generating a GeoTIFF orthomosaic raster using Metashape or importing a large ortho from third party software into LP360 or TrueView Evo, 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 some orthos can be dozens…
BigTIFF file conversion for CAD package import
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…
Importing Many LAS files in LP360
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:…
Executing task(s) failed (8690)
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…
Automatic Perpendicular Profile View
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…

GeoTIFF in ArcGIS Does Not Project Properly
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 Adaptive TIN Ground Filter Parameters
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…
