Hi @borijarim​, I wasn't able to find much information on a Leica TPS Reader extension; are you able to provide more information or work with another output format instead? FME supports various point cloud formats, GeoTIFF, and more.

Thank you for answering. If i can't find a LTF reader can i perhaps introduce one by defining the file format in FME? I have to transform las cloudpoints to LTF because my photogrammetry software only accepts LTF files for DTM edition.

Hi @borijarim​, in that case you can certainly create a new reader or writer. I would also suggest posting the idea for an LTF reader/writer to our Ideas page for others to vote on-- we take these ideas into consideration when looking at how we can improve FME.
