Merge and Extract

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Purpose

To combine two or more .xyz files together. This can also be used to "extract data" from within a closed 2D Polyline representing a mask or boundary from just one .xyz file.

 

Operation

Select one or more .xyz files and enter the name of the combined output file. If a 2D Polyline has been drawn defining an "inclusion zone" then click "Yes" at the filter prompt to write out only those points within the defined area. Further options allow to shift or scale the co-ordinates, globally add -0.5m to Z values  (below topsoil) and scale the X and Y co-ordinates by 0.001 (i.e. converting millimetric units to metric) for example.
