Delete Close Points (DelClo)

Type: Batch Application

Modifies points that fall with a user defined distance of lines, points on lines, symbols and (or) text label origins.

Detailed Description

Searches lines, points on lines, symbols and (or) text label origins in user-defined layers and deletes, re-layers or reclassifies points that are within a user-defined distance to these entities. Points may be symbols, text or vrpoints (LiDAR), and they may be deleted, moved to another layer or re-classified. Re-classification is considered only when vrpoints are considered. Delete Close Points is useful for deleting DTM and LiDAR points that are too close to DTM break lines.

Layers that are turned off will not be considered even if specified. Delete Close Points is undoable for symbols and text, but not for points.

Available Key-ins

Parameters for Line Close Points

Workspaces mode

Determines whether points are compared to lines that are not in the same workspace as the point.

Workspaces to consider

Defines the workspaces to consider.

Clear layers

Defines the line layers to check points against. This may be entered as a number line. Layers that are turned off will not be considered even if specified.

Point layers

Defines the point layers to check against the line layers. These layers may contain symbols, text, or vrpoints. This may be entered as a number line. Layers that are turned off will not be considered even if specified.

Clear around lines

Clears out points that fall within the search distance of any part of a line.

Clear around line points

Clears out points that fall within the search distance of any line vertex.

Clear around symbols

Clears out points that fall within the search distance of any symbol origin.

Clear around text

Clears out points that fall within the search distance of any text origin.

Search distance

Defines the search distance. Points that fall within this distance from the lines specified will be deleted or moved. This value is entered as ground units.

Change mode

Defines the action to take on points that fall within the search distance of the lines specified. Options are “Delete points”, “Move points to target layer” or "Change classification (VrPoints). If "Move points to target layer" is selected the points will be moved to the target layer as defined by the Target layer field.  If "Change classification" is selected the vrpoints will be re-classified to the classification number defined in the New classification field.

Target layer

If the Change mode is set to “Move points to target layer” this parameter defines the layer to move points to.

New classification

If the Change mode is set to "Change classification (VrPoints) this parameter defines the classification number to change the qualifying vrpoints to.
