Reading LAS Dataset points

Question

I'm studying a way to use ArcGIS Pro SDK 3.0 to create an add-in that must have access to LAS Dataset points for an analysis. This add-in will have to extract points inside polygons and then calculate the median of altitude of these points.

I didn't find any documentation related to it. Are there any classes in the Pro SDK similar to ILasPointCloud interface existing in ArcObjects SDK (ESRI.ArcGIS.GeoDatabaseExtensions namespace)?

Hi Charles,

I saw this class but I didn't find a way to retrieve LAS points inside a polygon, just like ILasPointCloud.GetLasPoints had.

With PointCloudSceneLayer I can just filter the points.

Best regards.

LAS is represented in Pro with PointCloudSceneLayer
