The LASmerge tool merges and splits LIDAR files.

Lidar file, directory, or text file containing list of files – If a LIDAR file is chosen, just that file will be processed. This is mainly useful when splitting, since otherwise it just copies the file. If a directory is chosen, LASmerge will attempt to merge all the files in that directory into a single LIDAR file. If a text file is chosen, LASmerge will read it for a list of files to merge. Files should be specified one per line. Paths should be either absolute, or relative to the text file.
Maximum number of points per output file – If nonzero, LASmerge will split the output so that each file contains at most this many points. The last file may contain fewer than this many points. If zero, LASmerge will merge all the points into a single file, even if the result is extremely large.

Directory, filename or file name pattern for output(s) – Where to write the output file(s) to. If splitting, the output will be treated as a pattern, where trailing digits in the file name will be used for a counter, e.g. name00.las will result in files named name00.las, name01.las, name03.las, etc. There must be enough digits in the filename for all of the resulting files, or the remaining ones won't be written. This means that name0.las can only be used for 10 output files and name00.las can be used for up to 100.

-* ''Filename or file name pattern for output(s)'' &ndash; Where to write the output file(s) to. If splitting, the output will be treated as a pattern, where trailing digits in the file name will be used for a counter, e.g. ''name00.las'' will result in files named ''name00.las'', ''name01.las'', ''name03.las'', etc. There must be enough digits in the filename for all of the resulting files, or the remaining ones won't be written. This means that ''name0.las'' can only be used for 10 output files and ''name00.las'' can be used for up to 100.
