Import from Leica Cyclone

Has anyone successfully taken data collected in Leica Cyclone and brought it in 3D Analyst?
If so, how? 
Thanks!

Caryn,

Leica C10 data are point cloud datasets that are typically exported from Cyclone as either PTX or PTS files. Both PTX and PTS are Leica proprietary formats.

However, ESRI 3D LiDAR model/GP tools look only for (open) LAS file format, and do not have capability to simply store reference to these PTX/PTS data files ...

So, you need the third-party tool (free or commercial) to convert PTX or PTS into LAS, for example, �??pointzip.exe�?? (at http://www.cs.unc.edu/~isenburg/pointzip/)
