<p>You can also go the GRASS Route for LAS files. You get GRASS with
an install of QGIS by default. <br>

<p>GRASS is a bit of a learning curve but with patience you can get
up to speed. There's also a very active GRASS users list also:

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi All<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I'm new to QGIS after using MapInfo for
more years than I dare to admit and finding QGIS great. I’m
making full use of the 3D features as I work mainly in the
forestry industry and as they say, a picture says a thousand
words, particularly when showing topography. My question is,
I am trying to find a way of converting some LiDar data that I
have (las files) to something that QGis can use when creating
3D views. Currently I’m using tif DEM files, so can anyone
point me in the right direction to creating a dem from las
files? I can't see any plugins so wonder how others are
achieving this?<o:p></o:p></p>
