Creating Ground Control Points from Identifiable Locations on the Terrain

To create a ground control point from a specific location on the terrain (including LiDAR):

1.     On the Home tab, in the Add group, click the arrow under Control Points and select Create Ground Control Point from Terrain.

2.     Click in the 3D Window to define the control point’s location. The Control Point Editor is displayed showing a photo viewing window, a photos panel, a control point table, and a sampled photos panel - that gradually becomes populated with photo thumbnails as you mark the control point in photos.

3.     Mark the control point in the relevant photos. See "Marking Control Points in Photos" in this chapter for information.

4.     Modify the control point properties as required, and then save the project. See "Editing Control Points" in this chapter for information.
