topic Import data from Leica Cyclone to ArcGIS in 3D Mapping Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/3d-mapping-questions/import-data-from-leica-cyclone-to-arcgis/m-p/775574#M114 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I am trying to better understand the workflow for importing point clouds from Leica Cyclone (v. 5.1) to ArcGIS (v. 10.2.2). Within Cyclone, I understand that I can set the XYZ of a location below the lidar scanning unit. Following the acquisition of a number of scans, I can tie them all together. Once I have a merged point cloud, I will have a PTS/PTX file which I can then convert to LAS using this LAStools (<A href="http://www.cs.unc.edu/~isenburg/pointzip/" title="http://www.cs.unc.edu/~isenburg/pointzip/">Pointzip: Compressing Leica's Cyclone PTS and PTX files with LASzip</A>) tool. However, it is unclear to me how I can project this data into a projected coordinate system like UTM Zone 17N. How is this possible? Is this done within ArcGIS or Cyclone?</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 10 Feb 2016 17:15:37 GMT JohnWall 2016-02-10T17:15:37Z Import data from Leica Cyclone to ArcGIS https://community.esri.com/t5/3d-mapping-questions/import-data-from-leica-cyclone-to-arcgis/m-p/775574#M114 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I am trying to better understand the workflow for importing point clouds from Leica Cyclone (v. 5.1) to ArcGIS (v. 10.2.2).
