Hello,
I have multiple .LAZ files and I'm assuming they need to be converted to .LAS in order to load them into ArcMap. I've been researching all morning and I believe I'm getting myself more confused. I was wondering if any knows how to do this conversion in with ArcMap or possible a script though I am very new to programming.
Thanks,
seems to be an issue, but read the threads in here
The above link (https://community.esri.com/ideas/13482) is no longer valid.
I know this is an older thread but that 'idea' has gotten a little confusing and a bit outdated (and still is not implemented).
The documentation points you to go to create a scene layer package, but this tool has been deprecated. You now have to go to:
Create Point Cloud Scene Layer Package—Data Management toolbox | ArcGIS Desktop
Here, you can bring in your LAZ file into this scene layer package that you make
And fill in the rest of the blanks with the right info. I hope ArcGIS Pro starts to natively view LAZ files!
Or, you could just use the Convert LAS tool.
Yeah, this works. Open it in batch mode and drop all of your laz files in and get them into las format.
