I want to use QGIS 3.4.13 to convert las files into xyz-text files.
So far I installed the LAStools Toolbox in QGIS and I think I can use the las2txt tool for the conversion. However I get the error message
The system cannot find the path specified
According to this link I'm supposed to download the LAStools Software from here. However, the software requires to pay a licence fee (pricing), but I am looking for a cost free solution.
In this chat a user said:
I would suggest using an open source tool. LASTools is a great open source tool for handling and converting LAS files.
You would need to use the LAS2TXT function and you could get an ascii
text file of the lidar data.
Thus, this particular tool is for free after all? But then why do I get the error message?
Perhabs there is an alternative to LAStools to convert las data into xyz?
Best Answer
The default folder for LASTool is
C:\LASTools
.You need to change the actual destination manually.
