Hi,
SAGA can display shapesfiles and point clouds as overlays only in 2D map
views. But there is also a 3D point cloud viewer module, which could be
extended to also show shapefiles.
SAGA reads and writes shapefiles natively, for LAS files modules that
use liblas for import/export to/from SAGA's point cloud format exist.
Best regards,
Volker

Hi Michael,
Depending of the way you want to visualize your data and the kind of
shapefile you have, maybe SAGA <http://www.saga-gis.org/en/index.html>
could be a good choice. Otherwise, I find that Fusion/LDV
<http://forsys.cfr.washington.edu/fusion/fusionlatest.html> is a good 3D
las visualizer but I'm not sure about viewing 3D shapefile. There is
also GRASS <http://grass.osgeo.org/> that allows to load both formats
(using liblas I think). If your data isn't too huge and you plan to
program something, maybe you could do that in R
<http://www.r-project.org/> as there is an OpenGL binding that could be
used for 3D and multiples shapefiles readers
<http://cran.r-project.org/web/views/Spatial.html>. However, for reading
las in R, you could write a liblas binding :-) or I know or use this
other initiative <http://staff.acecrc.org.au/%7Emdsumner/las/readLAS.R>.
Hope it helps,
Etienne

Does anybody know a decent combined LAS and SHP viewer?
All the stuff I've found is too clunky to just view both types of
files easily (like instantiating it from a command line 'view data.las
data.shp').
I have tried Mars Explorer and PointVue.
I'm about ready to write my own. If anybody has source for a decent
LAS Viewer I can add SHP files to it.
