Creating a contour lines dataset based on an Orbit Point Cloud produces a vector file containing contour lines with a consecutive distance.
The target dataset can easily be exported to any supported vector format.

Files & folders
All created files and folders are saved in a new folder <name-of-opc-file>.contourlines inside the “pointcloud” folder of the run.
