Modifying the Input Points Filter

About the Input Points Filter

The Input Points Filter, formerly Source Points, defines the set of points from the input LAS Layer(s) or file that are used as the point cloud data for the tool or task. Any point on a class included in the Input Points Filter can be classified to the destination class, if applicable. Therefore, exclude all points (i.e., classes) you wish not to be classified to the destination class. In general, the more points that can be excluded from consideration will produce more performance and better results. The Input Points Filter is modified by leveraging the Live View dialog launched from the Input Points Filter for a Point Cloud Task or other tool within LP360.
