If you're importing LiDAR data from a text (.txt) file, it needs to be in a specific format

Updated over 9 months ago

File format

To import LiDAR data from a text file (.txt), the data in the file needs be space-delimited, with data for each of these four (4) columns:

x y z c

  • x - the x coordinate

  • y - the y coordinate

  • z - the z coordinate (height)

  • c - the classification of the LiDAR points

Each point is entered on a new line. There is no header row.

If the format is incorrect, the LiDAR data import will be unsuccessful
