Export Point Cloud tool settings

After accepting the operation with a data point, the Export Point Cloud dialog opens, which allows you to export and save to the LAS, XYZ or POD format.

The precision of XYZ export is governed by a variable.

POINTCLOUD_XYZEXPORT_NBDECIMALS = integer. The value can be 1 through 8 and represents the number of decimal places exported when selecting XYZ format. The default value is 4.

A file will be created for each tile that has point cloud data within the extent of the tile.
