</div>Those are valid use cases of course and I don't argue here.<br>
Just, since OGR is an abstraction layer and point clouds are enormous,<br>
I wouldn't expect high performance.<br>
That's why, IMHO, point clouds require dedicated toolkits (PDAL, PCL).<br></blockquote><div> <br>Hi Mateusz,<br><br></div><div>I understand your point regarding performance but I consider that to be a driver issue. My point is functionality before speed.<br>

Perhaps, you can try las2ogr to see how OGR in general will work for your uses.<br>
Besides, writing OGR driver with libLAS (or PDAL) should be feasible.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Indeed it is feasible. It's running fine here! ;-)<br><br></div><div>Regards,<br>Rui<br></div><div><br><br></div>
