Oblique Resources

supported_resources

1)
Orbit vector tiled : write is export only, an ovt file cannot be edited.
2)
Ascii text file : Text files are no GIS vector resources but can contain a list of coordinates and attributes to be imported via import and geocoding.
3)
Obj : Preliminary support, read only.
4)
Stl : Preliminary support, read only.
5)
ArcSDE : Read only for geometry and attributes, not available for Asset Inventory
6)
Sid : Drivers are only available on Windows
7)
ECW : Driver are only available on Windows
8)
JP2 : Driver are only available on Windows
9)
TIFF reading : Support for Baseline, Tiled, Multiresolution and BigTIFF. Support for commonly used compression methods (G4, JPEG, LZW and Packbits).
If a tiff file cannot be read properly, contact Orbit support.
10)
TIFF writing : Support for Baseline, Tiled and Multiresoltion. Support for JPEG compression only.
11)
LAS : Optional VLR (variable length records) header information is supported to communicate coordinate reference system information. Review libLAS documentation.
12)
LAS, Reading : Support for LAS version 1.2 and 1.3
13)
LAS, Writing : Support for LAS version 1.2 only.
Export includes XYZ, Intensity, RGB if available RGB and GPS time if avaialble. The CRS WKT string is included as VLR (2112).
14)
LASzip : Supported using libLAS library. Driver only available on Windows and Unix. Currently no support on Mac and Linux. Driver included with Orbit installation, but older computers may require an update of Visual C++ runtime (Missing dependency : MSVCR110.DLL).
15)
LASzip, Writing : Export includes XYZ and Intensity and if available RGB and GPS time. The CRS WKT string is included as VLR (2112).
