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.

List of deprecated formats:
