Practical ideas for Revit, BIM and construction technology. Built from years of shared experience.
There are a whole lot of paid and open source tools out there for photogrammetry (turning photos into 3D models), and it is easy to get lost. I found a very detailed post by Jesse over at We Did Stuff…
Navisworks works really well with Point Clouds, particularly in association with Recap. It will usually create ‘voxels’ – groups of points that you can hide or change colour or use in other Navisworks…
Revit doesn’t like big numbers. There, I said it. So when dealing with ‘world’ coordinates in a point cloud, sometimes things just don’t work too well. I thought I had this all solved recently by usin…
I thought that most of this was ‘easy’ and solved now, but it was more of a challenge than I expected. I received a ASC file from a survey in XYZRGB format, which looks like this: Those XYZ values are…
I got a virtual tap on the shoulder from Brian Nickel over at The Revit Saver today. He said he had been “searching for an answer like this for a year or two, and the guy posted it two days ago overse…
