About the Attribute Editor Point Cloud Task

The Attribute Editor Point Cloud Task allow you to modify, add, delete, and prompt for input values for attributes associated with shapefiles. This is useful as several point cloud tasks generate shape files as the final product, which may contain several features and have few predetermined attributes. This point cloud task can be chained with existing point cloud tasks in a macro.
