Hello,

I have successfully used Extract LAS to clip a las dataset to my study area using a polygon shapefile, the resulting las files having the _clipped suffix I specified.

I have a shapefile with thousands of tree crowns that were extracted using our in lab software. We use FUSION and extract all the points from each tree crown (like a cookie cutter) into their own individual las file eg. each tree from each crown polygon has a las file, with the tree_id from the shapefile as the suffix.

Is there a way to do this in ArcGIS Pro using the lidar tools, or use model builder/Python somehow to iterate through the shapefile, extracting each tree crown's las points falling under the crown polygon and naming a suffix with the treeid for the resulting LAS file.

Many thanks, trying to reduce the number of tools we use, we could also use lasclip which works well.
