LAS to Multipoint won't save attributes

StefanHaglund1 — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 14:46:45 GMT

All,

I can not get the LAS to Multipoint tool to store attributes of the LAS file.

I have tried on several different datasets but all I get in the attribute table are the standard "Shape" and "PointCount" fields. When I try to store e.g. Intensity, there is no column in the attribute table.

There isn't really any room for a mistake here as it is just one parameter to set, but who knows... See: http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//00q800000099000000.htm

Has anyone else experienced this and have a solution to it?

Thanks!

I stumbled with this myself at 10. The answer (at least to my problem) was that the attributes were indeed being written to the attribute table but the fields are not turned on by default in ArcMap. So just open the FC properties and click the Fields tab and you'll see "Intensity" (or other Las attribute) there, click the checkbox next to it and you should be good.

I discovered this "solution" here:
