Is there a way of reading .pts files within FME

As mentioned in that idea, you can use the CSV reader to read this. Be sure to use the new CSV2 reader (FME2017 or newer). Alternatively the PointCloudXYZ format could be used as well. They might not be as efficient as a specific pts reader but they should get the job done.
