How can I regenerate the topo surface in InfraWorks using CAD file for higher accuracy?
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 contouRead more
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.

What you should know about exporting in the Datasmith format is that the plugin exports the currently active view in Revit. This means that if you have a high-detail view active, the export will include high-detail elements, whereas a low-detail view will result in a lower level of detail in the expRead more

Secondly, the best workflow is to export each Revit file separately and integrate them into different software. This approach gives you better control and allows you to manage each file individually.

I don't have any experience with "Undet" but you might consider checking out "PointSense" from FARO or "CloudWorx" from LEICA as alternatives.
