{"name": "LAS to ENVI-met Tree Converter", "package_name": "las2ENVImet", "description": "Converts LAS/LAZ point clouds into ENVI\u2011met tree models with Leaf Area Density (LAD) calculation and A\u2011gs physiological parameterisation", "about": "This plugin provides a complete workflow to convert LiDAR point clouds (LAS/LAZ format) into 3D tree models suitable for the microclimate simulation software ENVI\u2011met. Users can interactively select a trunk point and define a region of interest, apply percentile\u2011based filtering to isolate tree points, and then scale, rotate, or translate the point cloud to match desired dimensions. The plugin voxelises the data at 1\u202fm resolution and calculates Leaf Area Density (LAD) values using user\u2011selected reference voxels. Further refinements such as crown factor adjustment, trunk enhancement, LAD thresholding, and ground clearing are available. Physiological A\u2011gs parameters can be chosen from species presets or entered manually. The final tree can be exported as an ENVI\u2011met plant file (.txt) and optionally inserted directly into an existing project database. Designed for researchers and urban planners, the plugin bridges the gap between high\u2011resolution LiDAR data and microclimate modelling in ENVI\u2011met. Some of the tools in las2ENVImet require the Python libraries laspy, lazrs and matplotlib, which are not included in the default installation of QGIS.
