How does the point decimation/spacing work in the export dialogue?

During the export points phase there is an option to apply a decimation/spacing on the different file formats, excluding the DEM. 

Note: This is not a Model Key Points style filter. To run a model key points see this help article.

Below are the current options:

  • All points (no decimation)
  • 10m
  • 5m
  • 1m
  • 10cm
  • 5cm
  • 1cm
  • 5mm
  • 2mm

For example, when 10m export decimation is chosen, the exported las/laz files will have an average distance between points of 10m.


If you wish to have a custom option, please contact our support and we can work with you to add that in.
