Downloading Using and Analyzing Lidar Data in ArcGIS Pro

Downloading Using and Analyzing Lidar Data in ArcGIS Pro. Includes obtaining and formatting data from NationalMap.Gov, loading it into Pro, and creating DEMs and raster files, creating bare earth vs 1st Return data sets, slope, aspect, contours, index contours, hillshade, checking projection information and metadata, trace downstream, adding data from ArcGIS Online and the Living Atlas of the World, using USGS topographic and hydrologic datasets, using the raster calculator, creating 2D and 3D scenes, and much more.

Best resource I have found for analyzing Lidar data in Pro. Thanks so much for posting!

the USGS data does not offer building classification?

[@Our__Earth]

Hi Paige - you might be able to find some building data on nationalmap.gov if that is what you mean.

[@pagewesley4074]

@@Our__Earth Thank you for responding, your video was very helpful! I am looking for lidar data classified for buildings. The meta data for the USGS lidar program does not have a building classification. I wonder if municipalities need to buy this level a classification? I also looked on the nationalmap.gov as well. Thank you again

I hope you could please do a video for Leica city mapper LAS dataset for the City area. Thank you very much

I wish I had the expertise for this but ... sorry.

[@BenjaminCrosby]

This is misleading. The 'ready to use tools' in Analysis do NOT use your imported LiDAR data. Instead they use elevation data from the cloud. This is why your 'trace downstream' continues Bahia California instead of being limited to your raster. Your elevation profile is not of lidar data (too smooth) but of 10m USGS NED data. Check the attribute table for your 'output profile' line for the data source. Please revise to avoid confusion. I don't aim to criticize but just keep things accurate for the viewer.

I'll check it out. I was using the Lidar data.
