Overlap Bit Flag removal in v1.4

[Jordan M. Moore]

Hello All,

 

I am having trouble removing the Overlap Bit flag from a v1.4 las tile. I have a LAS version 1.4 tile that has overlap flags within it. I want to simply change the bit from 1 to 0 or from Y to N. I basically would like a 1.4 tile as is existed before lasoverage with all the classifications intact. I would imagine someone has done something like this before?  I do not have a previous iteration of the data that I can go back to, unfortunately, which is why I am inquiring whether or not it is possible.   

 

I tried -set_extended_overlap_flag 0 

*but this just puts all the points which are flagged into a classification (12-Overlap) I need it to not change the inherent classification just whether the bit reads “Yes” this is an overlap flag.*

 

It’s possible I am missing something extremely straight forward here, so I do apologize if there is already an obvious answer out there.

Hello Jordan,

it would be helpful if you could either provide a small (< 500K) sample file or send a lasinfo report about the files whose overage flag you are intending to reset. It would also be good to know which version of LAStools you have been using. The newest one is:

E:\LAStools\bin>las2las -version

LAStools (by mar...@rapidlasso.com) version 170102

Regards,

Martin @rapidlasso
