PointCloudReplacer

Replaces the geometry of the feature with the geometry held in the Blob Attribute. The blob is decoded according to the selected point cloud format.

Parameters

Format

The point cloud format used to decode the blob.

Blob Attribute

The attribute from which the blob will be read.

Usage Notes

Note that this transformer only works with point cloud formats. Use the GeometryReplacer for vector formats or the RasterReplacer for raster formats.

Currently supported formats include:

• ASPRS Lidar Data Exchange Format (LAS)
• ASPRS Lidar Data Exchange Format Compressed (LAZ)
• Cesium 3D Point Cloud (pnts)
