PLS CADD

(OP)
Does anybody with PLS CADD experience know any tips and tricks on reducing file size?

 

RE: PLS CADD

If you are using Lidar data points in the XYZ or PFL model and have thousands or millions of data points, you can deactivate or remove the points outside of a certain width.  I hear that a 64 bit OS will allow PLS to manipulate much larger files quicker if you have 8Gb of ram.

RE: PLS CADD

There are quite a few options for filtering out data points.  The two most useful are filtering out x of 10 points of a certain type or filtering out all points of the same type with x feet.
