I hope this hasn't been posted previously but attempts to find a similar issue have proved futile. I have .las files that I am trying to convert to multipoint. The issue I am having though is that when I select Input, navigate to the folder containing the .las files, nothing is listed to select. If I open up the las files in windows explorer though and drag and drop the files, they are accepted and will process. Has anyone else had the same issue? Thanks in advance geofolks!

Hi Parrish,

You are right! The same happens on my computer. Browse to the folders with LAS files and none are listed. Maybe it is using the IGxObjectFilter which does not support LAS files. You can experience the same behavior when you navigate to the LAS folder using ArcCatalog. It won't show the LAS files...

It would be nice to be able to select a LAS file when it is the only possible input for a tool. Esri will have to look into that!
