Select the Snap tool on the toolbar to fine-tune the position and properties of Conductors, Poles, and Stays/Guys after they have been extracted from point cloud data:
Snapping poles
With the Snap tool selected, click a pole. There are three options for snapping:
Pole location: Once a pole has been created, it can be precisely placed by first clicking on the desired pole, clicking the snap tool and selecting this option and then left clicking on the LiDAR point (marked brown for poles). This will move the pole to fit the LiDAR.
Pole height: This ensures that the pole is the correct height to fit the data and is used in the same way as above, with the exception that 'snap pole height' is selected
Attachment: This allows you to control the height of the crossarm(s) on the pole. To ensure a precision fit, simply left click the desired crossarm in the Snapping options and then left click the LiDAR points to move to.
Snapping conductors
Points classified as conductor are magenta/purple before a conductor is fitted to them. Once fitted, they will turn grey to show the conductor is accurately modelling the points.
There are five options when fitting conductors using this tool:
Cable sag: this ensures the conductor cables sag to match the data
Cable attachment: adjusts the attachment height of the conductor
Cable offset: adjusts the horizontal distance of the cable attachment
Attachment to cable from point selection: forces the model to attach a cable based on a s
Insulator to cable from point selection: forces the model to fit a line to a selection of LiDAR points
Left-click a conductor with the snap tool selected - it will turn green. Then choose the relevant snap option in the sidebar. Then left-click again on the correct LiDAR point to make the conductor fit:
