*The basic training to be covered in Terrasolid-Laboratory exercises include:

·         Define classes into which points may be classified.

·         Setting up a project in TerraScan.

·         Importing raw points into TerraScan project and applying a transformation
from WGS84 to a projection system.

·         Adjusting elevation values from ellipsoidal to geoid based model

·         Practice with different viewing modes: color by class, intensity,
elevation or flight line.

·         Practice with different viewing tools: Draw Section, Move Section, Cut
Section, Travel Path and Measure Point Density.

·         Checking visually that flight lines match each other.

·         Importing trajectory information.

·         Cutting overlap between different flight passes.

·         Classifying low points, ground and other objects based on height from
ground

·         Interactive classification tools.

·         Defining macros and classifying points in multiple project blocks in
batch mode.

·         Visualizing results of ground classification as a shaded surface.

·         Final, manual editing of ground classification.

·         Outputting a report on how well laser ground surface matches control
points.

·         Smoothing ground surface.

·         Classifying model keypoints.

·         Creating surface models from laser data for different purposes.

·         Draping linear elements onto laser ground surface.

·         Creating contours from triangulated surfaces.

·         Creating profile drawings from triangulated surfaces.
