Hi I'm trying to split a series of raw point cloud files into files named by Ordnance Survey 500m tile reference, which are provided via a MapInfo TAB file. The point cloud contains X,Y,Z & Intensity. I've tried using the tiler tool, but that only splits by a certain number of rows and columns, any help would be much appreciated.

Many Thanks in advance!

Dan

Hi @danamos, the Tiler has parameters that allow you to specify sizes (width and height) of tile and the seed coordinates. Try setting "Tile Size" to the Tiling Type parameter.

If the MapInfo TAB dataset provides desired tiles as polygon features, you can also use the Clipper transformer to clip the point cloud by the polygons.

Why not inspect features with Visual/Data Preview and Feature/Record Information before writing them into a destination dataset?
