Reproject LAS dataset 10.1?

norrislam — Fri, 12 Oct 2012 10:31:29 GMT

I have tried to search for the functionality of reprojecting my LAS dataset (or even to define the projection) and it does not appear to exist.

Am I missing something?

Greetings,

When you create the LAS dataset, there is a parameter in the tool called Coordinate System. If no spatial reference is explicitly assigned, the LAS dataset will use the coordinate system of the first input LAS file. If the input files do not contain any spatial reference information and the Input Coordinate System is not set, then the LAS dataset's coordinate system will be listed as unknown.

If you forget to set the parameter and the .las files don't contain any spatial reference information, you can go into the LAS datasets properties and go to the XY Coordinate System tab and set it after the fact.

You can not reproject a LAS dataset at this time. Here are some LAS dataset considerations, with spatial reference being one of them...

Best Regards,
Eric

Thanks for the reply!
Do you know if the re-project functionality will be added in the future?
It would be a really helpful feature.

It's under consideration for a future release.

Best,
