The Clear Path tool helps users identify suitable locations for specific purposes, such as helicopter landing zones or vehicle pathways. It offers preliminary indications based on user-defined criteria within a specified search radius. This tool is only available in TerraExplorer Fusion Plus.
To clear a path:
- On the side toolbar >
> Tools tab > Clear Path.
- In the Clear Path panel, in the Search for field, select a predefined location (e.g., helicopter landing zone). The minimum width and maximum slope are automatically set to those suitable for your selected location type. If you want to set your own minimum width and maximum slope parameters, select Custom.
- In the Search Radius, set the radius within which you want the tool to search for appropriate locations .
- Click Set Location, and then click in the 3D Window to define the center of your search area. When the surface analysis is complete, the dialog displays the analysis results and a feature layer is created in the 3D Window showing in green all points that match the search criteria.
