I have several LAS files from Lidar data that was shot across several miles of a road. I'm being given the .las files and have to clip them and stitch them together (there are about 40 of them all together) to get the best data and create the best total surface of the project. My first method of bringing in the data was to import the .las with the Terrain Model and export it as a .tin. This worked, however just this one piece, which is one of the larger pieces, came out to be a 650 MB .tin. My goal was to convert all of the .las files to .tin and then clip and merge them together. Does anyone know of a way I can begin getting the .tin files to be smaller so I can work with them or is there a different way I should be going about bringing in and converting the .las files.
Thanks,
Jervis
