Compress las files into one laz file
I have a number of lidar files in LAS format that I want to convert to one compressed LAZ file. I can read the LAS files with one reader, but when I use the ASPRS Lidar Data Exchange writer to write, it writes multiple LAZ files. This is true even if I set the Compress Files parameter to Yes. How can I get just one LAZ file?

Hi Jim,
Maybe the LAS format does not have the function for archiving multiple files.
If the multiple source point cloud features can be treated as parts of one large feature, try using the PointCloudCombiner to transform them into one feature before writing.

That worked, Takashi. First I combined the rasters into one raster, then the writer wrote that raster as one LAZ file.
