Why is My Reprojection in ROCK Cloud Taking So Long?

If your LIDAR dataset reprojection in ROCK Cloud is taking longer than expected, here’s how to identify the issue and understand potential delays.

Common Reasons for Delays in Reprojection

1. Dataset Size:

   • Large datasets naturally require more time to process.
   • Consider breaking your dataset into smaller sections if possible.

2. Dataset Complexity:

   • Highly detailed or intricate datasets can take longer to reproject.
   • Verify that your dataset is optimized for the reprojection process.

3. Reprojection CRS:

   • Using an uncommon CRS like NAD 27 may introduce complexities.

4. Ongoing Processes in ROCK Cloud:

   • Check for other active processes that may affect system bandwidth.

Steps to Diagnose the Delay

1. Access the Process Log:

   • In ROCK Cloud, click the gray band at the bottom center of your screen.
   • Review the list of processes for error messages or incomplete tasks.

2. Look for Errors:

   • Errors often trigger pop-up notifications.

3. Be Patient if No Errors Appear:

   • If no errors are present, the system is likely still working. Larger or complex reprojected CRSs may simply need more time.
