Shapefile upload support on usalidar.io

Hi everyone,

I recently posted about a site to get the 3DEP data quickly, usa-lidar.com, which I have now redirected to usalidar.io

The goal is to provide a free, quick and easy way to get open 3DEP LiDAR data. usalidar.io now supports Shapefile uploads, allowing you to get site-specific LiDAR data from the 3DEP program very quickly.

You just choose the new feature "Upload File" and you can upload in various formats. Then you can select from a table for your area of interest.

Then you can place the order for this polygon.

And you get a clipped .copc.laz file ready for download in just a few moments.

I don't believe such a solution exists and I hope this will help make 3DEP open data more accessible.
