Convert Classified LAS Data to 3D Mesh

[Kevin_Thompson]

Hello All,

I am new to using this data and would like to explore creating a 3D Mesh from the Point Cloud? The idea would be to try and calculate total volume of the foliage?

I have already classified the data and it looks quite promising using the following:

https://camaps.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=58d77b24469d4f30b5f68973deb65599

Here is what it looks like:

I can't seem to determine what tools can be use to convert this data? I know there are many tools for creating buildings, but not exactly the point here? Also could convert to raster and back to vector, but then it would only be 2D? Ideas would be most helpful!

Just want a 3D Polygon to click on with volumes!

Kind Regards,

Kevin T

Hi Kevin,

There is currently no geoprocessing tool to output a mesh from a point cloud but I believe this is something the 3D Analyst team is looking into for a future release.

thanks,
