LAS LiDAR Binary File Import Automation Options

Since the Import Options dialog is not displayed when the program is driven from an automation script, an options string can be specified in the script. The string consists of comma-separated parameters, which specify the behavior of the various export options. A typical example would be:

 "Defaults = 1, AcceptXMin=3, AcceptXMax=15, AcceptClass[2]=1, AcceptClass[3]=1"

This would first set all options to the default values, specifies a range of x values, then specifies which classes to import.
