About Executing Point Cloud Tasks By Envelopes

The selected or active task can be executed on the active LIDAR Layer over a rectangular 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.
