I am looking for some information on bringing terrestrial LiDAR into GIS.
The contractor delivered the point cloud (with free Pointools for viewing the point cloud) and CAD files including interpreted features.
I am not familiar with CAD, but am able to open the CAD data in GIS. I do not however have a legible attribute table I can open and use in my work. The contractor does not use GIS and their standard deliverable is CAD.
How can I communicate with my contractor to enable an easy transition from their deliverable to my GIS needs?
Ideally, the contractor will deliver the point cloud (for data curation) with a viewer and GIS compatible layers including attribute information (that will potentially include polygon, line, point, and DEM/TIN surfaces (for example, bare earth).
Thank you in advance to folks for giving this some thought.
