las envelopes in shape format

[Alejandro Hinojosa]

Hello,

Can someone remind me how to create a shape file with envelopes of a bunch of las or laz tiles?

Hi Alejandro,

may have a look at

If this does not what you are looking for please describe very precise what you want to do and provide a sample :)

Best regards,

Hi,

if I understand correctly, you want a single shp for each laz file that shows the shape all point are contained within.

I use command:

lasboundary -i *.laz -oshp -epsg xxxx -use_tile_bb

-epsg because my laz files do not have projection info in the header and  I need to specify it by hand

-use_tile_bb because my files are square and this is sooo much faster - but if you need precise shape you'll want to skip this parameter.

Best regards,

Michal Kus

Thanks Michal,

it was the combination of saturday and early morning to lead me to this fast answer - lasboundary is probably the one Alejandro is looking for :)

Best regards,

Thanks Michal and Jocken, I had found it in my scripts history 

lasboundary -i *.laz -overview -labels -o index_laz.shp
