Hello there
we have a large dataset of Point cloud for an entire city, is there a way we could split it into small sizes in order to work with it in FME
we try to read it using FME but its taking long hours
Thanks

You can split it into tiles and then work with those. But you still have to let it run once. Be sure you have a lot of ram and sufficient disk space when you do this.
Just use the Tiller transformer and Group By Row and Column in the writer.
You can set a search envelope.
From there, you can create 2 processes, one with a grid to create a grid over your AOE that creates bounds coordinates for each grid polygon and a second run with the WorkSpaceRunner that reads the point cloud and sets the envelope based on the grid from the first workbench.
That way you can create X number of smaller subsets to process and bring together in the end.
