Hello,
I would like to start working with LAStools under Windows XP. For that
reason I have already downloaded from the website
http://www.cs.unc.edu/~isenburg/lastools/ the following zip files:
lasground,lasclassify, lasheight.
The problem is that after running all the applications, there is no
possibility to view my las data and also process them.
I can see only a green square.
I suupose that I halve incorrectly install LAStools. Could you please
give me advice how to do proper configuration and installation?

Thank you in advance,
Best regards,
Malgorzata Mendela

Wolters, Michel

Hello Malgorzata,

There is no installation required. All the LAStools .exe files are standalone programs. You can run them from pretty much any folder after unzipping them, either by clicking on them or accessing them using the command line. The LASview application can help you view the actual LiDAR points. Other 'popular' GIS apps are also able to view LAS files.

Regards,

Michel Wolters
