And thinking about this a little more, as these types of datasets typically include millions of points, it would be good if the PointCloud tools could import this file type (DEM/ESRI ASC).
They are effectively point clouds - just with regularly spaced points.
And the PointCloud engine does such a good job of handling that size dataset...
Then the Terrain from PointCloud tool could be used to grab the actual area of interest (using a fence) and apply applicable filtering thus reducing the size of the terrain object to its smallest useful size.
