Cross Section

Steps

1.Open the LiDAR360MLS software and load the corresponding project file.

2.The point cloud display mode is set to Elevation+EDL.

The point cloud is displayed as Elevation+EDL mode

3.Click Cross Section button, the 3D view window pops up the interface shown in the figure below. The three options in the upper left corner of the window (Translate, Rotate, Scale) control whether the enclosing box can be translated, rotated, and scaled separately, and the corresponding options can be checked to make it effective. The mouse clicks (does not pop up) the corner of the enclosing box (green square) in the view and adjusts the position. You can adjust the zoom of the enclosing box X, Y, and Z (the Zoom option must be checked).The mouse clicks (does not bounce) on the 6 faces of the enclosing box and adjusts the position, you can adjust the position of the enclosing box X, Y, and Z (the Translate option must be checked); the mouse clicks (does not bounce) on the spherical surface composed of red and green curves in the view and adjusts the position, you can adjust the direction of the enclosing box X, Y, and Z (the Rotate option must be checked).

Adjust the enclosure

Parameter setting

• Translate: Control whether the enclosing box can be moved.
• Rotate (Rotate): Control whether the enclosing box can be rotated.
• Scale: Controls whether the enclosing box can be scaled.
• Enclosing Box Range (Box): The maximum and minimum values of the X, Y, and Z directions of the enclosing box can be precisely adjusted.
• Surround Box Rotation (Rotate): The angle between the X, Y, and Z directions of the enclosing box can be precisely adjusted.

4.(Optional) Click button to make enclosing box return to its initial state.

5.The picture below is shown the cropping according to the cross-section perpendicular to the Z-axis, only retaining the renderings of higher-elevation objects such as buildings.

Cut according to the z axis

6.Click button to save the cropped point cloud.

7.Click button to pause the cross-selection.

8.Click button sets the view mode selection and displays each default view of the currently activated view.
