<p class="MsoNormal">Hope you’re having a good week <span style="font-family:Wingdings">
J</span> I was wondering if there was a way to split an input LAS file into multiple LAS outputs, using shapefile geometry boundaries (and conserving the number of total points)?<br>
<br>
I’ve looked at the example below and noticed it was for one output only [pdal pipeline ] ;<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Other options I’ve looked at;<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">pdal split seems to only split by number of points?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">pdal tile seems to only give square tile outputs?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
