LAS spatial filtering using 3d object

Is it possible to spatially filter a LAS file using a 3d object?

I have created a multipatch 3d AOI in ArcGIS expecting to be able to do 3d spatial analysis with it, but appears that LAS datasets cannot be used with the 3d Analyst extension - Inside 3d tool.

Is this possible in FME? I have tried spatial relator but that does not seem to achieve what I am after.

Which FME version are you using? Have you tried the clipper?

Currently on 2015.1

 

 

Would clipper not just clip in 2d though?

according to the 2016.1 documentation the clipper accepts point clouds, but I guess that not much help...

The Clipper transformer can be used to Clip pointcloud objects using a 3D box object.

I have seen demo's by @dmitribagh using FME 2014 or so.
