About Executing Point Cloud Tasks By Polygons

The selected or active task can be executed on the active LIDAR Layer over a user defined polygonal area. If the selected task classifies points, there must be at least one LAS file within the active LIDAR Layer open for read/write. If the selected task is an extractor, the user must browse to an output dataset before executing the task.
 

How to Execute Point Cloud Tasks By Polygon

Execute By Polygon Tool

1. With the Execute By Polygon tool selected, left-click in the map to define a vertex in the polygon.
2. Once the polygon is defined, double click to execute the selected task.
3. If the selected task is an extractor, select an output dataset. If the dataset exists and is compatible with the extractor, select 'Yes' to append to the existing dataset, or 'No' to overwrite the dataset.

Tip To cancel the tool before executing, press the ESC key.
