How to move forward (LAS-Dataset)

[Dnat]

Hello!
I am working with a project that involves LiDAR and I have run into an issue I need help with.

I have my LiDAR data in a LAS file and want to do a spline interpolation on it. But to do that I need to covert the LAS data to a shapefile (points) or am I wrong? I have tried to use LAS to multipoint but the program cant run it it just fails (error 9999).  Am I missing something or what am I doing wrong?

Do you have any advise in a diffrent method or something? 

I am using Arc Map (10.1).

I had never process lidar data, but worth to try QGIS as it is also provide LAStools, similarly to arcgis lastool. It also provide las data conversion to shp and vice versa.

Perhaps help if use Globalmapper have and LIDAR module and can split subset from you data or make other geoprocessing analysis.

You could try it with SAGA GIS. The program is open source, very efficient and runs as a GUI, command line, through API calls, or even through an Arc Toolbox. I’ve had great success with it.
