How to Use the Ground Clean Up Tools in LP360

In this informative training presentation at the 2025 LP360 User Conference, LP360 expert Eian Margaret Davis provides a comprehensive guide on how to perform ground clean up steps following Ground Classification in LP360. In “How to Use the New Ground Cleanup Tools in LP360,” Eian shows how to turn a “good enough” AI or Adaptive TIN ground class into a clean, reliable ground surface you can trust for contours, volumes, and advanced workflows. You’ll learn how to spot trouble areas using Surface Precision, then use the Ground Cleanup tool in both manual and assisted modes to quickly add or remove ground, working in the map, profile, and immersive views. 

Eian also walks through using PCT-based ground cleanup under canopy and running the Statistical Noise Point Filter to find those pesky outliers that slip past automated methods. Along the way, you’ll see practical strategies for separating ground from vegetation, buildings, and vehicles, while keeping control of your classification instead of starting over. If you’ve ever looked at your “finished” ground class and thought, “this still needs work,” this session shows you exactly how to clean it up efficiently in LP360.
