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.
