I’m very happy ArcGIS Pro 3.6 minimally supports .LAZ. Took long enough. I hope they deprecate their proprietary platform lock-in .ZLAS format #GIS #ESRI
For geologists out there, turns out ESRI’s Building classifier is pretty good at finding outcroppings in LAS class 1, unassigned points. I’m classing confirmed outcroppings as class 20, ignored ground. Could be useful for fisheries too. #ESRI #Lidar #Geology

We need to see more of this on this side of the Atlantic. Ditching #esri may be hard but if don’t do hard things from time to time we will end up with more and more power in the hands of a few very powerful and very rich men.
