QGIS LAS2DEM(Pro) Fails

Hey All,

Since this group helped me so much with DaVinci Resolve in the past, I thought I would start here again.

I have been using QGIS for around 6 years as part of my GIS arsenal of tools to do any work for everyone all the time. I know I have used las2dem successfully just last year when I converted drone data from a point cloud to a DEM. Now, I get the error below. I notice it states: No such file or directory. Does that refer to the tool or where my data is located. I have already tried this on 3 machines, 2 Linux and 1 windows. I have also tried this tool with the current version and long term release of QGIS, but always the same error.

Thanks in advance,

Gerry

Hello,

Most likely you have to install AUR (en) - lastools-git
pamac install base-devel && pamac build lastools-git

Thank you for your response. I do have that installed. I narrowed it down to all the tools are not free. So, some LAStools work and others don’t. Thanks again.

Gerry
