Practical ideas for Revit, BIM and construction technology. Built from years of shared experience.
Mark Cronin has put together a nice guide describing how to clean up point cloud data in Civil3D, make a surface and then import that into Revit for topography creation. This is an alternative to usin…
The Trimble Scan Explorer Extension dramatically reduces the time required to generate a SketchUp Pro 3D model from scan data. Streamlined tools and one-touch features allow users to quickly extract c…

While the free Labs Point Cloud Feature Extraction for Revit 2012 is very hard to find these days, there is a version of this tool available for AutoCAD:Point Cloud Feature Extraction | AutoCAD | Auto…
Typically, large point clouds are stored on local hard drives. Revit allows for this with the Options – “Root path for point clouds” setting. Here is an easy way to copy them: Use Robocopy. (Should be…
This is basically what will happen: So, basically you can choose to re-index to RCP, or leave them as-is and continue to use the PCG. While there is much to love about the smooth performance RCP point…
After spending lots of time with Point Clouds lately, making heaps of section boxes and then manually rotating them to match walls, I finally decided to shoutout to the Twitterverse for some help… Fol…
