SAGA-GIS Tool Library Documentation (v6.1.0)

Tool Export Point Cloud to Text File

Exports a point cloud to a text file. Once the tool is executed, a pop-up dialog allows one to specify the fields to be exported and their decimal precision.

Tool usage is different between SAGA GUI and SAGA CMD: With SAGA GUI you will get prompted to choose the fields to export and the decimal precisions to use once you execute the tool. With SAGA CMD you have to provide two strings with the -FIELDS and -PRECISIONS parameters. The first one must contain the field numbers, the latter the precisions (separated by semicolon). Field numbers start with 1, e.g. -FIELDS="1;2;3;5" -PRECISIONS="2;2;2;0".
