Hi my point cloud not working when I attach .las file it gives me MicrStation Stop working error how do I convert .las to POD file
What software and version are you using???
If using MicroStation V8i (Ss3) it should automatically create the .pod file when loading the .las file format using the Point Cloud dialog. There is a Convert tool in the same dialog under "File" pull-down. Some of the Point Cloud files are rather large and can take some time to convert, so you have to be patient. M-Sta. may be working in background. Try loading it overnight to see if it will actually generate the .pod. You can also try breaking/separating the las file into smaller areas using another software then load.
I Hope This Helps Someone Reading This! (Intergraph>PseudoStation>MicroStation user since 1980's)
Hi,
I agree with Geoerge .las file should be converted automatically to MicroStation native .pod format and when the input data are huge, it can required quite long time to finish the conversion.
The problem is some information are missing:
If not used already, you should try MicroStation CONNECT Edition. It's 64bit application, so it is able to handle much bigger data.
With regards,

Hello, As mentioned by George and Jan, can you specify the version of MicroStation you are using? It can be found in: HELP>ABOUT MICROSTATION The version will be in the form of: XX.XX.XXX.XXX Do you have additional Bentley Software installed such as Pointools or Descartes? Could you send a screenshot of the error message you are seeing? I would also recommend trying the conversion in MicroStation CONNECT on a 64 bit system. Regards Derval Canny.
