There are times when you only need to display the contents of the LAS file. In this case, it is enough that you use the so-called LAS Viewer. Such a program allows us only to display the contents of the LAS file. To view the content of the LAS file you can use several options:
LAS viewer did not handle your file? Take advantage of other options One of them is to use software that works with the LAS file. You can try to open your LAS file with one of these applications. By choosing the option to install dedicated software, you will also be able to e.g. edit the LAS file and sometimes even convert the LAS file.
First of all, you need to know that you need to install specific software that supports LAS files on your computer. Unfortunately, it is not possible to see the LAS file online in this case. Here you will need more time to use this solution, but you will also have more options. You can find some examples of dedicated software below, and the full list is here LAS File Opener
You haven't seen the content of your LAS file yet and you don't need additional software? Try other options. Many file types are simply text files or data archives. In this case, you can try to open your LAS file with the simplest text editor, for example with "Notepad". I can at least to some extent let you see the contents of the file with the extension LAS.
The second way is to use a data archiving program. Check if you can open your file with eg Winrar. If the file is a data archive, you should see what individual files it consists of. To get information about what kind of data it is, go to the subpage with information about the LAS file extension.
