 I&amp;#39;ve not found the way to import this format. 
 
 Is not existing this option? Must I export LAZ Format to LAS Format before import in PowerCivil? How can I do this?

With this version you can attach point cloud in LAZ format to your dgn and it will be converted to POD on the fly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In case you are not licensed to use ORD CE, you can try with a freeware tools:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.laszip.org/"&gt;https://www.laszip.org/&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;but I think your best choice would be to use Bentley Freeware: Pointools POD creator. You can save a lot of time with this tool, it can do a bulk convert of all your LAZ files. Moreover it can merge them into a single pod, reduce point desity, remove RGB (to make pods even smaller). Give it a try!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
