So... first glance... it looks nice. It's being delivered as GeoTIFF files, load up nicely in Global Mapper (haven't tried putting one directly into VNS yet). ...
... Here's a review of the data quality. It is apparently not really 30m resolution. Moreover it has a lot of defects, though not always in the same...
... Generally this means there is a problem creating a sensible topology network out of all of the polylines. Have you examined them to see if they all make...
... network out of all ... don't "almost" ... Yes some almost intersect and should. Do they want to all connect? I turned off spline vectors and am not...
Ran some more tests with spline vectors unchecked and still got the error. I went back and adjusted the polylines to touch each other and all seems to render...
... Basically, if they _should_ touch, but don't, VNS tries to make two independent streams and they can stomp on each other. If they _do_ touch VNS 3 knows...

I would like to take a LIDAR point cloud (all returns) and display it in VNS. I have the LIDAR data as an ESRI vector shape file with points as x,y,z and a...
... You will need to turn the point cloud into tow different things. First, you will need a bare-Earth processed version, to turn into a DEM. This should be...
... Are you sure it's a 3D shapefile? If so, VNS should read this as 3D points. If not, and there is a z attribute, you can specify in the Import Wizard that...
Thanks Hans, That does help. What I am after is a drape over the point cloud and not the DEM, but nice to know that it is not something that can be done. ...
... Well, I'm not sure what you mean by a "drape over the point cloud". You can turn the full all-returns point cloud into a surface and put an orthophoto over...
Yes it is only the color of the first return, but this is very helpful for understanding the LIDAR data. A DEM does not help for what I need it is the "point...
