traceAreaLas is a small program in Python 3.11 which traces in Autocad the extent of the .las, .laz files.
When you receive a large amount of point clouds from a Lidar, a scouting plan is a definite help.
The clouds containing less than 1000 points are ignored.
Insert a block for each .las file containing
-
2 Polylines
- the theoretical area (100m x 100m)
- the real area in red
-
3 Attributs
- the name of the file
- the number of points
