Increase Number of Points In Point Cloud

[ksorsby]

Afternoon all,

I have a point cloud with 161 million points in it. This is basically fine and works well but I need to create equally high resolution surfaces from certain regions of the point cloud. No matter what size I choose my export shape, it will only create a surface from a ridiculously small 750,000 odd points, a 'feature' which has been documented on these forums before. I have POINTCLOUDDENSITY set to 100.

My question is, how can I build a surface from this high resolution point cloud data that has more than 750,000 odd points?

I'm thinking about mosaic'ing - ie. making several smaller surfaces over the required area and pasting them together.

Any thoughts/workarounds?

You cannot use the point cloud tools to build a surface at 100% density. The only way to get the full density of the dataset is to add the points directly to a surface. One place where this problem is addressed is in this post:
