Getting a LiDAR Datasets to work with Hazus

To get the LiDAR in I had to create a new Elevation dataset. What I did was using a terrain feature dataset loaded the LiDAR points. Then using the USGS DEM, I converted each pixel to a point which then was also loaded into the feature dataset (this will mess up the point spacing, but […]
