Hello guys, i have an hard time importing point cloud data into Unreal 5.6.
I have a lidar dataser i want to use inside Unreal, but i’m not able to import it. The documentation says both .e57 and .las are supported formats source, but when i try to import them i get an error saying “unknown extension”
I searched all day and i’m not able to find a solution. I tried both in a MacOS and Windows systems.
And obviously the LiDAR plugin is enabled.
Experiencing the same issue on 5.6
Looks like they broke point cloud importing/exporting in this release.
Hey there @trenoduro and @X-perto Welcome to the community! I’m seeing the same. It looks like the LiDAR point cloud plugin is broken for 5.6. If possible, you can make a bug report here:
Same here, did some testing and .las/.laz files are broken on my end.
Upgrading 5.5 project with previously imported point clouds to 5.6 → crash.
Trying to import .las/.laz files on fresh 5.6 project → unknown file type “las”.
Chatter on other forums mention same issue for many users.
I have submitted a bug report by following @SupportiveEntity 's link and hope dearly Epic will look into this for 5.6.1
