LAS Dataset Build Pyramids not saving

Yeaton — Tue, 02 Dec 2025 18:22:27 GMT

Hello,

I have a dense LiDAR point cloud that I have created multiple LAS datasets to build pyramids on. I have the temp/scratch folder redirected to a location with enough disc space. The pyramids build fine and I can work with the resulting LAS data, but when I save and close ArcPro the pyramids seem to go away as when I reopen the project pyramids have to be rebuilt. Am i missing a step to save the pyramids within the LAS Data set?

Thanks for any help.

Best,

Aaron Y.

pyramids are directed to a folder where the las dataset is located

LAS dataset pyramids—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation

is the las data *.lasd?

Build LAS Dataset Pyramid (Data Management)—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation

also see Create LAS Dataset (Data Management)—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation

assuming this is the tool you are using to build the pyramids
