Measurement pulldown menu
Commands from the Measurement pulldown menu are used to manipulate point clouds from static terrestrial scanners. The Measurement pulldown menu becomes available, if point cloud data is loaded into TerraScan using the Load Ground Points tool or if the Cloud type is set to Stationary lidar when points are loaded with the Read points command.
The term "measurement" refers to a point cloud collected from one scanner position. "Scan" is used as alternative term in the user guide. The number of a scan is stored as line attribute for each point. In some tools, the term "line" is not replaced by "measurement" for static terrestrial point clouds.

The Measurement pulldown menu is not available if point cloud data is loaded into TerraScan using the Load Airborne Points tool or if the point cloud type is set to any other option than Stationary lidar when points are loaded with the Read points command. In this case it is replaced by the Line pulldown menu which offers commands for laser data from airborne or mobile scanners, or for photogrammetric and other types of point clouds.
