Points Out (PoiOut)
Type: Translator
Translates Vr Points to the LiDAR point lists in ASCII format.
The Points Out translator converts Vr Points to ASCII formatted LiDAR point lists. The data fields that may be converted are X, Y, Z, Intensity, Red, Green, Blue. The Vr Points structure in Vr Mapping may contain up to 16 attributes per point. The LAS format also contains up to 16 attributes per point and should be used if possible instead of the Points In translator. Since the Points format is ASCII, the Points In and Points Out translators are significantly slower than the LAS In and LAS Out translators.
Loads previously recorded Points Out (.poo) parameter file.
Records current translation parameters to a Points Out (.poo) parameter file.
See the Vr Point format for more information on these fields and any differences between the Vr Point format and the LAS specification.
Allows editing of general translation parameters.
The Edit Parameters dialog Box
Workspaces to consider
Defines the workspaces to consider when running exporting LAS files. Options are Current workspace or All open workspaces.
Output format
Defines the format of the output files and the fields to be translated.
| • | X Y Z I R G B - X, Y, Z, Intensity, Red, Green, Blue |
| • | X Y Z I - X, Y, Z, Intensity |
| • | X Y Z R G B - X, Y, Z, Red, Green, Blue |
| • | X Y Z - X, Y, Z |
Translation file mode
Defines the handling of output files during translation which include the following options.
| • | Single File - All open workspaces will be translated into a single Points file. The "Output file name" field will determine the Points file name. |
| • | One File Per Workspace - An Points file will be created for each open workspace. The Points filename will be the same as the workspace (VrOne) filename with an .pts extension. The "Output directory" field may be used to place the Points files in a different folder than the VrOne file. |
Output file name
Defines the output file name when "Translation file mode" is set to "Single File". This name is ignored if "Translation file mode" is set to "One file Per Workspace"
Output directory
Output directory if not using "Single File" translation mode. This field may be left blank to place the Points files in same the directory as the VrOne files. This field is ignored if the "Translation file mode" is set to "Single File".
Output Symbols
Typically the Points Out translator exports Vr Points but Symbols may also be output. Symbols do not carry the LiDAR attributes that Vr Points have and default values will be used for these attributes for each symbol.
Output Points
Typically the Points Out translator exports Vr Points and this parameter is normally set to Yes.
Layers to translate
Defines the layers to translate to Points files. If a layer is specified it will be translated even if it is turned off in VrOne/VrTwo.
Translate deleted points
One of the attributes stored with each Vr Point is a delete flag which allows points in the database to be marked as deleted. If this parameter is selected then deleted points will be translated. Deleted points that are translated with retain the delete flag in the Points Output file.
Decimal Accuracy for coordinates
This parameter defines the decimal accuracy for the coordinates in the Points files.
Place point count as the first record in file?
If this parameter is set to Yes then the first record of each Points file will contain the number of points in the file.
