[Qgis-user] PDAL to the rescue

[Luigi Pirelli]

completly agree with you. W PDAL :)

I strongly suggest to automize your processes. creating json pipelines and
consume them creating python/processing scripts using pyton interface to
PDAL (can be named pyPDAL?).

Is this your use case? tell us more or better prepare a UseCase story that
can be published in QGIS pages.

regards

Luigi Pirelli
