&lt;td&gt;N\A&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;How can I import a .LAS file?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Background&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A .LAS file is a LiDAR file. These files need to be converted to POD format so it can be attached.&amp;nbsp;Use the point cloud tools are platform tools so they are documented in the [[MicroStation Help file]].&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Steps to Accomplish&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Open the project page or other DGN file into which the .LAS file is to be imported.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Open the &lt;em&gt;Point Clouds&lt;/em&gt; dialog (&lt;strong&gt;File &amp;gt; Point Clouds&lt;/strong&gt;).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;From the dialog&amp;#39;s icon bar, click the &lt;strong&gt;Attach Point Cloud&lt;/strong&gt; tool. The &lt;em&gt;Open&lt;/em&gt; dialog opens.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;From the file list, select&amp;nbsp;the .LAS file and click &lt;strong&gt;Open&lt;/strong&gt;. The &lt;em&gt;Convert LAS&lt;/em&gt; dialog opens.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Select the desired settings and click &lt;strong&gt;OK&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The &lt;em&gt;Specify New POD File&lt;/em&gt; dialog opens.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Give the file a name and click &lt;strong&gt;Save&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This should result in the point cloud being attached to the DGN and displaying in the view selected in the &lt;em&gt;Point Clouds&lt;/em&gt; dialog.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img style="border-left-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-top-width:0px;" alt=" " src="http://communities.bentley.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-components-sitefiles/TSG-Logo.png" width="189" height="60" /&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
