LAZ Format

Question

I have a file in LAZ Format, the compressed format of LAS Format. 
 
 I'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? Thank you.

If you can, use OpenRoads Designer Connect Edition. With this version you can attach point cloud in LAZ format to your dgn and it will be converted to POD on the fly. 
 In case you are not licensed to use ORD CE, you can try with a freeware tools: https://www.laszip.org/ 
 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!
