Is there a point cloud layer in QGIS?
We will introduce a new map layer type within QGIS: point cloud layer, which will be used for all point cloud data. As mentioned above, we can’t reuse existing vector layer type (with point geometries) as it is not designed to support such large amounts of points.
What’s the best way to draw points in QGIS?
By default QGIS draws points as squares as this is the fastest option. But for higher quality output you may want to change point symbol style to circle in Layer Styling panel, which makes things look a little less jagged: At this point we always use square points in 3D views – in the future we will likely offer circular points in 3D views as well.
Why does my QGIS not recognize a LAS file?
If your QGIS installation does not recognize .las or .laz files (which are the two point cloud formats that we currently support in QGIS), the most likely source of the problem will be that the PDAL library needed for reading LAS/LAZ is missing in your installation. Unfortunately not all installers include it at this point.
Can a 3D view be rendered in QGIS?
Some of the necessary infrastructure is already in place: QGIS 3D views support “chunked” rendering of terrain since the beginning (as the user gets closer to the terrain, more detailed elevation and map textures get rendered).
