LIDAR data in .bin files

[kswainj]

Hi,
I have LIDAR data that has a .bin file extension. Is there a way to import and view it in ArcMap?
Thanks,
Ken

Hey Ken - No, ArcGIS can't read in the .BIN file as it currently stands. I would work with the data vendor to see if they can do some post processing on it to get you the .LAS files. The current release of ArcGIS (10.1) can read in the native LAS data without any conversion. See the help here;
