I have a need for a solution here to get lidar data into a Microstation readable dataset.
I have lidar .laz files which I can convert to .las in ArrcGIS Pro
MicroStation can read these and create contours but this solution creates a processing nightmare. I am looking to create a MicroStation friendly dataset .dem file on a larger scale
As you can see from the image below USG DEM File is an option. I would like to process a bunch of .las files into a .dem
BUT for some reason all I can figure out if to get from .las to a Raster Tif . Which does not have the .dem extension.
Can anyone please outline the steps I need to take to get a .dem from the .las files I have? I need the .dem extension so I can try to open this in MicroStation
I often use CloudCompare software for LiDAR processing. It's very user-friendly, has good functionality, and is free. And exports to a variety of formats.
