Hi @williampattrix,

 

Adding onto @virtualcitymatt's answer, if you're looking to learn more about point cloud datasets by exploring them in FME, Getting Started with Point Clouds may be a good place to start if you haven't already seen it from What is a Point Cloud?. We also have a webinar on How to Get the Most Out of LiDAR Data.

 

 

This tutorial includes guided examples to transform point clouds into other useful data products, such as terrains or elevation models, or buildings using point cloud elevation information. Each example contains a workspace template that can be downloaded and explored.
