SAGA-GIS Module Library Documentation (v2.1.3)

Module Drop Point Cloud Attributes

The module can be used to drop attributes from a point cloud. In case the output dataset is not set, the attribute(s) will be dropped from the input dataset, i.e. the input dataset will be overwritten.

Module usage is different between SAGA GUI and SAGA CMD: With SAGA GUI you will get prompted to choose the attributes to drop once you execute the module. With SAGA CMD you have to provide a string with the -FIELDS parameter containing the field numbers (separated by semicolon). Field numbers start with 1, e.g. -FIELDS="5;8;9".
