Creating a Spatial ETL Tool

[EvanStern]

Hello,

I'm following the steps in this tutorial (1st picture), but when I right click on my new toolbox (2nd picture below) and hover over 'new tool' the 'create spatial etl tool' does not show up. Any suggestions? I have ArcMap 10.6.1, and am trying to convert an LAZ file into an LAS.

Thanks,

Evan

Make sure you have a data interoperability license available and enable the data interoperability extension in ArcMap.

Conversely if you do not have a data interoperability license, you can can use LASzip tool free to unzip .laz files.
