Point cloud slicing

Point Cloud Slicing

For a LAS file, this can be done:

LIDAR Point cloud display options form through the entire point cloud.
Along Line of sight / Topographic Profiles, with the coordinates being distance along/across track and the elevation.

You set set options on the to load the following into memory for display on the LAS tab of the options form:

LAS classification
LAS return Number
LAS RGB (often not present in the LAS file)

Controls for slice viewer.

The xy slice either requires very careful selection of the z level, or greatly increasing the thickness of the slice. It will not add much to the displays you get with the point cloud directly on the base map.
If a change does not automatically redraw the view, use this button.

Global DEMs:

Must be a geographic DEM
Adjust the display, since it will be duplicated with the shift
Pick the button, and the two slices will be created, one with the 1/2 pixel offsets. They will be dumb bitmaps; if you want to modify them, readjust the display

y-z slice:
