Tutorial: Use PDAL wrench to automate workflows

6. Merge point cloud tiles into one LAZ file

We can merge LAZ tiles using the PDAL wrench command merge.

1. At the terminal type the following command:

pdal_wrench merge --output=merged.laz 65DN1_07.LAZ 65DN1_08.LAZ 65DN1_12.LAZ 65DN1_13.LAZ

This command is very similar to the build_vpc command we have used before, but results in a LAZ file instead of a VPC file.

In the final chapter, we'll clip this LAZ file with a polygon layer.
