I am trying to convert a CSV file (no header, just X Y and Z columns) into either a LAS or POD file format. However I keep getting the error:
"Failed to obtain point cloud from feature. Only features with point cloud geometry are expected"
Is there a step that I'm missing here?
Thanks,

Most probably, can you describe what you are doing?
Tip add the header in the CSV and save as .xyz file.

There is no header in the CSV....
when you say Save as .xyz is this within FME or outside of FME?
All I have in my FME workbench at the moment is a CSV reader and an LAS writer. I tried to put the "3DPointReplacer" transformer in between them, but I got the same error..
Thanks,
have you tried passing your points through a GeometryCoercer set to "fme_point_cloud" before the Writer?

Outside FME open the CSV and add the header (XYZ), and save as myfile.xyz
This way you can use the XYZ reader (much faster than the CSV) and FME recognizes it as point cloud geometry.

I used the POINTCLOUDXYZ reader and changed the delimiter to a comma and it worked successfully.
