Select a point data set in the Network Manager
to display its properties in the Property Manager.
Point source modules are created when a previous version (Voxler 3 or older) Voxler project file (*.voxb) containing point source modules is opened in Voxler 4 with the File | Open command. A point source module will be created when using the File | Import command to import a points data file that is NOT in a tabular file format, such as LAS LiDAR or some KML files. A Point source module is also created when importing a SEGY data file with Point cloud as the Import format.
In Voxler 4, the Data Source module is created for point data in a tabular file format, such as Excel XLS and XLSX, DAT, or CSV files.
Defined from the point coordinates located in the data file.
Depending on the type of data imported, the point module may be connected to the Graphics Output Modules or the Computational Modules. An Info Module may also be connected to the output node.
Click on the point source module in the Network Manager to select it. The Property Manager displays various statistics about the loaded data set, the point source module. This is the same information displayed by the Info module. The point source module properties are described below.
