Hello,

I'm trying to convert a minecraft world to a pointcloud or a point shapefile.

I manage to convert it to a .las file but the blockID and blockData are dropped during the writing.

How can I keep these attributes?

Cheers,

Hi,

When you add the LAS writer, press "Parameters" button, there is a section in the parameters called "Additional User Components". Simply type in blockID and blockData, and your LAS file will have these two components. Another possibility is to map some standard components to blockID and blockData - for example, classification and intensity. PointCloudExpressionEvaluator or PointCloudComponentCopier can this operation. You could also try using a different format, for example e57 or XYZ.
