Transforming the horizontal coordinate system of LAS datasets using the Create Point Cloud Scene Layer Content tool results in spatial misalignment.

Additional Information

Workaround

Workflow 1: Use the Project tool for geographic transformation after creating a scene layer package (.slpk).

• Source LAS dataset: WGS 1984 UTM Zone 33N
• Tool: Create Point Cloud Scene Layer Content
  • Geographic Transformation: None
• Tool: Project
  • Input Dataset or Feature Class: The scene layer package from the Create Point Cloud Scene Layer Content output
  • Output Coordinate System: S-JTSK_Krovak_East_North
  • Geographic Transformation: S_JTSK_To_WGS_1984_1
• Result: The output scene layer package aligns with the original LAS dataset.

Workflow 2: Use the Extract LAS tool for geographic transformation before creating a scene layer package (.slpk).

• Source LAS dataset: WGS 1984 UTM Zone 33N
• Tool: Extract LAS
  • Output Coordinate System (Environment settings): S-JTSK_Krovak_East_North
  • Geographic Transformation (Environment settings): S_JTSK_To_WGS_1984_1
• Tool: Create Point Cloud Scene Layer Content
  • Input Dataset: LAS dataset (already in S-JTSK_Krovak_East_North)
  • Geographic Transformation: None
• Result: The output scene layer package aligns with the original LAS dataset.
