Unfortunately the full set of LAS tools only works in Windows.

<div>FWIW, I've built them into my Mac GRASS binaries (i.e., the ones that are open source) so that you can use both.</div>

map of 1km2 with 118798 points for testing (the goal is to use the<span class="yiv6673960240Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
procedure for a map at least 20 times larger than this one). However,<span class="yiv6673960240Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
Grass Gis 6.4 and 7 (for Ubuntu and For Windows) show me a warning<span class="yiv6673960240Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
message. it says that it could take too long depending on the amount of<span class="yiv6673960240Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
points. I already tried with different values for the parameters" sie"<span class="yiv6673960240Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
and "sin" but it doesnt get any better. I just left the computer<span class="yiv6673960240Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
calculating for few hours but I´m not really getting any result. do<span class="yiv6673960240Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
anyone have an Idea what I´m doing wrong?<br>
Finally, I´m being trying to get a 3D visualization of the points but<span class="yiv6673960240Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
both the monitors of the GUI and the wxs ended up crashing before I can<span class="yiv6673960240Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
see a thing. is that a known problem? there is any known reason for such<span class="yiv6673960240Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
a problem or even better, a solution or an alternative?<br>
