You can also go the GRASS Route for LAS files. You get GRASS with an install of QGIS by default.

GRASS is a bit of a learning curve but with patience you can get up to speed. There's also a very active GRASS users list also: https://grass.osgeo.org/support/mailing-lists/

Hi All

I'm new to QGIS after using MapInfo for more years than I dare to admit and finding QGIS great.  I’m making full use of the 3D features as I work mainly in the forestry industry and as they say, a picture says a thousand words, particularly when showing topography.  My question is, I am trying to find a way of converting some LiDar data that I have (las files) to something that QGis can use when creating 3D views.  Currently I’m using tif DEM files, so can anyone point me in the right direction to creating a dem from las files?  I can't see any plugins so wonder how others are achieving this?

Cheers

Tony
