I have a pointcloud in LAS format which I want to use as the basis for a CAD project.

I need to create contours in DXF format containing z-values from the pointcloud so that they can be imported into a CAD program and visualised in a 3D model.

What would be a good workflow to do this?

Hi @robertdbuckley, you can use the ContourGenerator to generate contour lines (3D line features) directly from a point cloud feature.

Why not inspect features with Visual/Data Preview and Feature/Record Information before writing them into a destination dataset?
