ArcPy : Get List of LAS files referenced by LAS Dataset

[Gaëtan_Lavenu]

Hi,

I'm writing a Python script (using ArcPy) that need to browse a LAS Dataset to get the extent of all depending LAS files. To that, I need to get a list of LAS files referenced by my LAS Dataset. Unfortunately, the use Describe can't provide this information. Any ideas ? 

Thank you in advance for your help..

Hi

I don't think you can do what you want to do...

I have had a look at both Describe() function options... (arcpy.Describe() and arcpy.da.Describe()which I suspect you had a look at) and the closest I can get is how many files are in the LAS Dataset (fileCount) and the extent of the LAS Dataset.

I also had a look a the CIM definition of the LASD file but there is no additional information in the equivalent .JSON file.

I've also looked at the metadata for the LASD file but again nothing was exposed.

I hope somebody who reads this can offer some additional suggestions....... perhaps it might be worth asking the arcpy mapping team to possibly expose these additional properties?

Sorry i'm not much more use.

Kind regards
