Hi community, does anyone know how I can convert a LAS file into an RCP point cloud file using FME?

    • Creator to initiate process.
    • FeatureReader (ASPRS Lidar Data Exchange Format (LAS)) to read the LAS file.
    • FeatureWriter (Autodesk ReCap) to write the RCP file.

    I don’t have the RCP format among my point cloud formats in my FME 2023, why is that?

    Not sure. I believe it was introduced in 2020, deprecated in 2022 and re-introduced in 2024.
