Hi everyone!

 

So I have some LAS files that I would like to filter. The flow is as follows:

Everything seems to be working, but when I read the processed las-files into my program that I need to use, I can’t get it to work. The original files do work, so it’s something that happens along the way.

 

Any ideas?

Hi,

 

I can explain this. You are turning your pointcloud into individual points, but you are not preserving any of the attributes (components of the pointcloud) and then when you go through the pointcloudcombiner, you would need to set the each attribute into a component. So a bit to change there.

 

But how about you don’t break then into individual points anyway. It looks like you are using the spatailfilter to do a selection of what intersect?. Therefore you can do that with a clipper transformer directly on the pointcloud, with no need to coerce or combine.

 

Cheers,

Todd

Maybe try to reload your output las back into FME to compare it with the original input data, this way you can check if there are missing attributes or properties that might be needed for your other program to understand the las files. Also what is the name of your output file?

Hi,

Thanks for your response :)

Here are the settings in the PointCloudToPointCoercer:

 

And here are the settings for the combiner:

 

 

And lastly, the filename is set to fme_basename:

 

 

When looking in arcgis pro, there are alot that differs. The only thing doing now is through the coercer node, into the combiner and save. Just to try to get that to work :)

 

I've tried to preserve a component in the coercer node and to save that in the combiner node. But that didn’t work (probably me doing something wrong).

 

 

Any suggestions welcome!
