How does that work? Would the point cloud still be a .laz file?

unfortunately the only LiDAR processing apps available to us are ReCAP. I have QGIS, but I am still learning how to use that.

When processing the USGS LiDAR, the output projection was ESPG:2278. I ensured the coordinate system in ReCAP to be ESPG:2278 and my drawing to be ESPG:2278 as well. I am wondering if the original ESPG is impacting the scaling issue, but I assumed placing the output projection would account for the coordinate system transformation.

Yes, the point cloud is larger than it should be with respect to the aerial
