[GRASS-user] Clipping LiDAR data

Is there an easy way to clip a LiDAR data file?

I have a 2GB raw dataset which I imported with v.in.ascii without
topology or creating database because that caused memory to get full.

I was going to just run the v.lidar.edgedetection for the whole dataset,
but that seems to take forever..

So I thought I could clip down the vector to a subsample using
v.in.region and then v.overlay, but this produces an error because of no
topology, fair enough! So maybe I can build the topology with
v.build...again memory runs out.

Any ideas? Thanks, Jack

maybe v.select?

Hi Jack. Did you try the "-r" switch?
Something like "g.region" or "d.zoom" to some sub-region, then
"v.in.ascii -r in=... out=..." ?

Kind regards, Nikos
