Editing xyz file
Editing xyz file
(OP)
Hi all,
I am new to PLS CADD so please excuse if I am missing something obvious. Any suggestions/help are welcome.
I am trying to create a pls cadd model for a corridor project. I needed to import points from a LIDAR file as well as features from a dxf file in order to have all the ground points and obstacles in the corridor path (ground, vegetation, buildings, roads, fence..). The problem is that the LIDAR points have z values but the z value for dxf points are 0 (as it will be). Hence the profile, 3D and TIN display are affected.
I would like to try applying default z values for each feature code from dxf by editing xyz file. Right now, the only option I see is to edit each and every point.
My question is, is there a way to batch edit xyz points? Or is there any other better way to resolve this?
Thank you,
Sar

Although it is a little over my head, their solution was:
I assume that the DXF points you're referring to have been created using Terrain/Edit/Merge Points from External File/Create XYZ or PFL points From DXF or SHP Attachment...
If so, what I recommend doing is creating a TIN surface after importing your LiDAR data using just that.
Then you can press the F1 key and navigate to F1/Survey/Terrain Features/Adjust Z of DXF and Shape file entities using Z from TIN and XYZ which will alter the z coordinates of the DXF file's vertices so that they are at the level of the TIN surface.
Then you can create xyz points from the dxf that have z values along the TIN surface.
