Best Practices for Working with LiDAR

ArcGIS Pro supports LiDAR data provided as LAS. This video covers best practices for preparing and extracting information from LiDAR: • Classifying LAS files into a number of categories and extracting data to cover a smaller area • Manually editing and modifying classification codes to represent building roof points • Changing the display of an LAS dataset layer • Creating textured 3D buildings and realistic tress from digital elevation models derived from your LiDAR points using tools in a local government 3D basemap solution. • Publishing and sharing your realistic buildings and trees as a web scene in ArcGIS Online More detailed information is available here: https://solutions.arcgis.com/local-government/help/local-government-scenes/get-started/create-realistic-scene/ To learn more, contact us: https://esri.ca/contact
