I have been tasked to determine what trees near an airfield need to be trimmed. (They don't want the trees removed). There is a large area of trees that are starting to enter into the flight path, and it is becoming a concern. My thinking process is to create a 3d polygon with the base of it being sloped to the requirements of the flight path. Every 37 ft it goes up 1 ft. Lay the 3D polygon over the las file and see what areas are protruding into the polygon. I was able to create a 3d polygon and add the las file. but I cannot seem to figure out how to make the base of the polygon with a curved slope.
Has anyone worked on a project like this that could guide me in the right direction? Or am I going about this all wrong and there is another simpler way?
