Merge LAS Layers

Requires an LP360 Geospatial Basic or higher, an LP360 Drone, or LP360 Land Standard license.

Merge LAS Layers in the right-click menu (RCM) of the Table of Contents (TOC) allows users to merge selected layers onto an existing layer or a newly created layer. The target layer can be one of the selected layers. This is not a copy operation.

Merged LAS Layer allows user to move selected LAS files to a newly created layer or onto an existing layer.

Merged LAS Layer Permission sets the permissions for the files on the Merged LAS Layer. If other LAS files exist on the Layer prior to merging, all permissions will be set to the selected permissions.

Note: LAS Version, PDRF and GPS Time must be the same for layers to merge, otherwise an error message will appear.
