Write group info
Write group info command can be used to export information about groups into a text file. This requires that groups are assigned to points.
The format of the output file is defined in the File formats / User group formats category of the TerraScan Settings. Depending on the object type that is represented by the groups, the output file may include different information derived from the groups. The settings category includes two example definitions dedicated for exporting tree information.
To output group information:
1. Select Write group info command.
This opens the Write Group Info dialog:
2. Define settings and click OK.
This opens the Group output file dialog, a standard dialog for saving files.
3. Define a storage directory and name for the output file and click Save.
This creates the output text file.
