I need a polygon or closed polyline of the extents of this data; using max and min (x,y) gives a bounding box which means further down my pipeline, data is being written to areas that should take "No Data". How can I grab extents from the point cloud to use it as a breakline?

I think when i've done this in the past I've coerced the pointcloud to a single multipoint with a PointCloudCoercer and then used a hull accumulator
