Hi!

I want to create a pointcloud in .las based on a .shp file with point geometries.

I used the shp-reader -> PointCloudCombiner -> .las writer.

The transformer is doing a great job in creating the point cloud but I'm loosing the attribute values when I write the files.

In the translation Log you can see:

"LAS writer: the following components will be dropped from the point cloud: grid_code, pointid"

Why is that? The grid_code has the data typ (float), the pointid (longInt).

This link discribes nearly the same problem:

Thanks!!!

Have you added the User Components in the writer parameters?

You can access this via the writer parameters when you first add the LAS writer or under the parameters for the LAS writers in the Navigator
