Eyeshot 11 WinForms API Reference
WinForms Assembly / devDept.Eyeshot.Translators Namespace / ReadLAS Class / GetFastPointCloudAsBlock Method
The ReadLAS.formatType that must be used to create the resulting FastPointCloud.
The devDept.Geometry.Point3D to use as insertion point for the creation of the related devDept.Eyeshot.Entities.BlockReference.
The name of the block. If null/Nothing the name is assigned internally.

    In This Topic
    Gets the FastPointCloud read from the file as Block.
    Syntax
    'Declaration
     
    Public Function GetFastPointCloudAsBlock( _
       ByVal formatType As ReadLAS.formatType, _
       ByRef insertionPoint As Point3D, _
       Optional ByVal blockName As String _
    ) As Block
    public Block GetFastPointCloudAsBlock( 
       ReadLAS.formatType formatType,
       out Point3D insertionPoint,
       string blockName
    )

    Parameters

    formatType
    The ReadLAS.formatType that must be used to create the resulting FastPointCloud.
    insertionPoint
    The devDept.Geometry.Point3D to use as insertion point for the creation of the related devDept.Eyeshot.Entities.BlockReference.
    blockName
    The name of the block. If null/Nothing the name is assigned internally.

    Return Value

    The block containing the FastPointCloud read from the file.
    Remarks
    Uses a block reference to avoid floating point precision problems. i.e. When files use the UTM 32 North projection with northing values > 5,000,000 and easting values > 435,000, the northing values are larger than the easting values and the limited precision of the floats leads to the points arranged in the lines. To get more accurated result, you can use double precision coordinates by setting FillCoordinates to true before starting the reading process. If you need to get the FastPointCloud in a different format type than the one used in the constructor, please ensure to have set FillColors, FillIntensities and FillClassifications to true before reading the file.
