Feature: Point Cloud Layer Export

Point Cloud layers now support being exported to vector or point cloud data formats, with optional filtering.

Supported formats include:

  • Temporary scratch layer (memory layer)
  • GeoPackage
  • Shapefile
  • DXF
  • LAZ (requires build WITH_PDAL)
  • Uncompressed LAS files

Export operations support filtering by:

  • Extent
  • Filtering by Z Range
  • Limiting the number of exported points
  • Filtering spatially by polygon layer

In addition, output CRS definition and re-projection are also supported.
