Immersive Viewer

LP360 Support
  • Updated

LP360 introduces the Immersive View, a revolutionary way to visualize your LiDAR data. Unlike the traditional 3D Viewer, which limits you to small sections, the Immersive View allows you to explore your entire LPLAS point cloud in a seamless, interactive 3D environment.

Vertical Scale

Fine-tune the vertical exaggeration of your point cloud to emphasize subtle elevation changes. This is especially useful for analyzing terrain features or identifying small variations in your data. Similar to setting the Vertical Scale for the Profile and setting the Vertical Scale for the 3D Window.

Toggle Sprite Mode

Visualize your point cloud with enhanced clarity using the new sprite mode. This option optimizes the display of individual points, providing a smoother and more detailed representation of your data.

Show Feature Layers

Overlay and visualize feature layers directly within the immersive environment. This allows you to integrate vector data, such as building footprints or utility lines, with your LiDAR point cloud for a comprehensive analysis.

Clip Immersive View

Precisely define your area of interest with the clipping tools. This feature lets you isolate specific portions of your point cloud for focused analysis, minimizing visual clutter and improving performance.

The Draw Clipping Plane tool enables the Draw Clipping Plane toolbar (Figure 3) to assist the user in precisely defining the area of interest.

Start ClippingTrueViewIcon_StartClipping.png

Starts the process of defining a clipping plane.

Keep Inside / OutsideTrueViewIcon_ClippingPlane_KeepInside.png TrueViewIcon_ClippingPlane_KeepOutside.png

Allows the user to decide if the inside or outside of the defined plane is to be kept.

Undo / Redo Last Clipping PlaneTrueViewIcon_Undo Classification.png TrueViewIcon_Redo Classification.png

Removes or reapplies the last clipping plane in the srack of defined clipping planes.

Clear All Clipping PlanesTrueViewIcon_Delete selected.png

Removes all defined clipping planes.

Stop ClippingTrueViewIcon_StopClipping.png

Ends the process of defining a clipping plane.

Shortcut to define clipping planes in the Immersive View that reflect the defined extents of the Profile Window.

Classify by Polygon

Perform classification by polygon directly within the Immersive Viewer, much like the Classify by Polygon TrueViewIcon_Classify Points within a Polygon.png tool in the Map and Profile toolbars. The Classify by Polygon tool in the Immersive Viewer uses the settings of the Classification tab. Use polygons to define areas for classifying points based on their spatial relationships. This intuitive workflow streamlines the classification process and empowers you to make quick adjustments.

Density

Control the point density displayed in the Immersive Viewer with the new density slider. This feature allows you to optimize performance by adjusting the level of detail from minimum (sparse) to maximum (dense) based on your hardware capabilities and specific needs.

How to use the Immersive Viewer

Watch this video for a demonstration and tour of the Immersive Viewer Window in LP360.

Important Note: The Immersive Viewer is designed to work seamlessly with LAS layers that have been pyramided into the LPLAS format. This efficient data structure ensures smooth performance and optimal visualization of large point cloud datasets.
