Merging Point Clouds

You can merge two or more-point clouds to produce a merged point cloud. The original point clouds can either appear as layers or a single merged point cloud.

• Multiple (more than two) point clouds can be merged at once.
• An already merged point cloud can be merged with other Point Clouds.
• The point clouds don't need to have the same source coordinate system, but one point cloud will need to be chosen as the primary to define this information in the new merged Point Cloud.
• Once the merge is done the original Point Clouds can be archived, if they no longer need to be accessed individually (note: if you choose not to archive the originals, then both the original data and the merged data will count toward your account quota)
