Among the Point Cloud Tasks within LP360 there is an option to create a macro. The macro task can be used to string together multiple Point Cloud Tasks, that run one after another. The ability to string the tasks together frees up the user from having to constantly monitor the machine to see if one task has finished so they can begin another task. A common macro example is Building Classification and Footprint Extraction. The first task in the macro classifies data to the building classification and once that classification is complete the next task extracts footprints of the building class. Most Point Cloud Tasks can also be executed from Python or Batch scripts using the LPRunPCT executable. Similarly, the LDExport executable can be used for exporting derivative products.
