stream a pointcloud in Revit ??? plugins ?! services ?!
I tried Leica CloudWorx (not the latest version) for importing and auto pipe detection in MEP modeling. It worked fine overall, but I had some issues with point cloud visualization on section plans, it didn’t display properly. Maybe they’ve fixed that in the 2025 version. For now, I’m using QbitechRead more
I tried Leica CloudWorx (not the latest version) for importing and auto pipe detection in MEP modeling. It worked fine overall, but I had some issues with point cloud visualization on section plans, it didn’t display properly. Maybe they’ve fixed that in the 2025 version.
For now, I’m using Qbitech (qbitec.com) to import large point clouds, and it’s been working really well.

We recently scanned a large site with the NavVis VLX (29 datasets) with a total size of about 84 GB. The site covers roughly 93,000 m². We processed everything locally instead of using the online platform. After cleaning and organizing the point cloud in Cyclone 3DR, the data was reduced to about 70Read more

I tried Autodesk ReCap for zone management, but it wasn’t very efficient at this scale. After testing a few different tools, I found Qbitech (qbitec.com) works best for bringing large point clouds into Revit. It’s fast, handles heavy data smoothly, and has great visualization tools, the X-ray view and other display modes are especially useful.

I have not yet had the opportunity to use BricsCAD myself, but I have observed comparisons made between it and other CAD software regarding its flexibility and cost-effectiveness. Although my area of expertise differs, I frequently investigate support resources such as Finance Assignment Writing Service or platforms like Affordable Assignments, as having guidance can significantly simplify the management of complex tasks.

Sometimes, adding another plugin can cause problems. I had the same issue and tried a few things. The easiest fix for me was to clear all the parameter selections in the Datasmith export settings. After that, all the metadata showed up correctly in the exported file.

I’d like to share our workflow for generating a site model in InfraWorks using point cloud data. Our process began with acquiring a point cloud from the site. After cleaning and refining the data, we extracted high-detail contour lines from the areas of interest using Leica Cyclone 3DR. These contour lines were then exported in CAD format and used to create the site geometry within InfraWorks.
Additionally, we integrated the point cloud into InfraWorks for other purposes. However, for greater accuracy and reliability in site modeling, we recommend using CAD-derived contour lines rather than generating them directly in InfraWorks. This approach ensures a more precise and controlled representation of the site conditions.
