Trying to launch LP360 results in an error, “LoadLibrary failed with error 126: The specified module could not be found.” A load library error usually indicates a corrupted installation. Best to: 1. uninstall LP360 using Control Panel. Delete the contents of the “C:\Program Files\Common Files\LP360” and “C:\Program Files\LP360” folders. Then, install the latest version of…
Available at the LP360 Advanced or True View EVO license levels. The Powerlines Extractor PCT extracts power line catenaries from the point cloud, with options to classify points and vectorize the catenaries. This new PCT is in active development and may change before its final version. To execute, the Powerlines Extractor PCT requires a guide line.…
Versions 2020.2.19.0 and later: LP360 and True View EVO 2020.2 introduce a new logging feature that can be enabled via the Diagnostics tab of the Project Settings dialog (File -> Project Settings -> Diagnostics). Enable Logging: Enables logging of information at the desired Log Level. Rotating Log Files: Recommended to use this setting to limit…
The LP360 for ArcGIS extension is not showing in the ArcMap Extensions list (ArcMap -> Customize -> Extensions). Since ArcMap is only a 32-bit application, to install LP360 for ArcMap requires using a separate installer than LP360. Ensure that you have run the applicable “LP360 for ArcGIS Installer (Includes LP360 32-bit Arc Extension Only)”, named…
To reproject a raster in LP360/TrueView Evo you will need to establish the source SRS if one does not already exist. Do this by right-clicking on the raster layer, selecting Properties, SRS tab, and the ellipsis in the top right of the dialog. The Select Coordinate System dialog will pop up where you can setup…
LP360 has many tools for analyzing stockpiles and terrain. With these tools, it is possible to calculate average stockpile height and quantify this on a pile by pile basis in an automated fashion. The Volumetric Analysis point cloud task (PCT) has the ability to calculate a height dataset when the base and hull is known.…
Executing the Reproject LAS Point Cloud Task encounters the error, “Error setting up the transformation: Missing geoid file for source vertical coordinate system.” The spatial reference system (SRS) must be properly set on the LAS Layer as that is where the Reproject PCT will be looking for the information. For example, if the original LAS…
A common issue that is encountered when trying to take a bare earth surface generated from LIDAR or photogrammetric point cloud datasets into other programs is that those other programs cannot handle the volume of data. LP360 currently provides four options that can be used to thin the bare earth dataset to allow you to…
The classification of a LIDAR data point consists of both a classification and a classification flag. The classification flag allows for a point to be simultaneously flagged for particular uses while maintaining the classification of the point. For example, a model key-point can be flagged as such while maintaining the ground classification. Classification flags are…
