I have 1000 LAZ files and need to create a grid of the extents including the file name attribute. What would be the easiest method do carry this out?

Hi @robertdbuckley

You could add a LAS reader as a Single Merged Feature Type. Add a BoundingBoxReplacer and an AttributeManager. The fme_basename attribute will be the name of your file. Rename your attribute if you wish.

Hope this helps,
