Can you physically edit a point cloud?

deleted-user-Y1HBxau-94fD — Wed, 03 Jan 2018 12:50:51 GMT

Can I select points and delete them and can you physically save off a point cloud that just consists of the ground. I know I can classify the points and create a definition query but can I export those points out as a seperate .las dataset? #lidar

If you need points, you will have to start with a multipoint

Extraction is by area

Hi Dave,

I believe you can do this using the LAS Dataset Profile View tool:
