Convert E57 to LAS?


van_ha

This is my first time working with FME workbench. I would like to convert an E57 to LAS to import into ArcGIS Pro for a class project. I looked around in the Transformer Gallery but could not find the correct tool. Thanks so much for your help!

Hello @van_ha​ , I downloaded an open source e57 file, and was able to do a straight E57 to LAS conversion. I used the POINTCLOUDXYZ writer. I did have some initial issues with component types after reading back in my output to validate, but it was a simple fix in the reader. Let me know if you have any specific questions about this! Here to help, Kailin

I found the tool and ran it. Do you know how I can export the data as an LAS file?
