Hello,
I receive this error message when dropping a las file in ( both v2.6.2b and v2.6.0):
Displayed first....

The same thing thing occurs if I compress the las file to laz with laszip.exe, the .laz file also drops this message.
Thanks!

Indeed, this is because Liblas (the library we use to load LAS files) doesn't support the version 1.4 of LAS/LAZ format (the one with full-waveform).

If you don't have any full waveform data, I bet lastools must have an option to downgrade the file to version 1.3?

Just for information : Actually, las 1.3 can also include full waveform information. If you try to load a las 1.3 with FWF data embedded, Cloudcompare will report an error

I don't know if liblas if still actively supported... I believe that PDAL is more up-to-date but I really miss the time to look at this right now :(

I have this exact issue. Running CloudCompare v2.7.0. Can anyone explain how to fix this in layman's terms? Thanks in advance.

CloudCompare 2.7.0?! This is absolutely not supported anymore ;)
