Module Merge Point Clouds

The module can be used to merge Point Clouds.
The attribute fields of the merged point cloud resemble those of the main point cloud. In order to merge the attributes of the additional point cloud layers, these must be consistent (field name and type) with the main point cloud. Missing attribute values are set to NoData.
