Hello,
I am new and just starting out using FME. I have several .LAZ files and I need to get the coordinates and elevation out and into a .CSV file. I have tried to use the LAS reader >>> Point Cloud Coercer >>> CSV writer. All I get is a file filled with commas. Can someone walk me through what I need to do to get the x,y, and z data?
Thanks

Hi @nt, you can use the CoordinateExtractor (Mode: Specify Coordinate, Coordinate Index: 0) to extract coordinate values (x, y, z) as attributes after applying the PointCloudCoercer, then write the attributes into the destination CSV file.
Alternatively, you can use the Point Cloud XYZ Writer to directly write a point cloud feature into a text file, without using any transformer. File extension, delimiter, etc. can be specified via the writer parameters. See the help on the writer to learn more: Point Cloud XYZ (POINTCLOUDXYZ) Reader/Writer
