  • I have a *.LAS file, I want to transform it to ASCII ....file which contains the coordinates of the points, organised in one line per point. The coordinates are separated per spaces or tabs. Any thoughts?

Source(LAS)>PointCloudCoercer (Individual Points)>CoordinateExtractor>StringConcatenator(attribute named text_line_data)>TextLine Writer

Source(LAS)>PointCloudCoercer (Individual Points)>CoordinateExtractor>StringConcatenator(attribute named text_line_data)>TextLine Writer

Make sure to add the PointCloudCoercer - I missed that on my initial reply.

And depending on the size of your point cloud - you may be creating millions of points...

so, not ASCII writer?

yes

 

it is really big

 

it is almost 12 million points!!

Have you looked at the Pointcloud XYZ writer?

where should it be placed between?

a bit complicated

 

 

transform my *.LAS file into an ASCII file (like the one attached)cube.pdf ... to open it in a software called DSE to extract discontinuities from a rock face...

 

 

Have you looked at the Pointcloud XYZ writer?

yes

 

I tried it

 

and it successfully worked...however I need the final file format in ASCII

Yo can set the Character encoding in the parameters.

 

The output will be a text file (with default extension xyz).

You could add the PointCloudThinner in before the Coercer... or you might want to look at thinning the points afterwards...
