LIS I/O
LIS I/O extends the import and export capabilities of SAGA GIS with formats commonly used in point cloud, GIS and 3D processing workflows. It supports the exchange of point cloud and vector data with external software environments and includes tools for preparing files for virtual point cloud datasets. Typical applications include importing survey or LiDAR data into LIS Pro 3D, exporting processed results for use in GIS, CAD or other point cloud software, converting datasets between operational formats (LAS/LAZ, RDBX), and preparing large tiled datasets for catalogue-based processing.
