You should also set and use a keyboard shortcut for the Show Workplane button on the Home tab. When Revit says -not associated-, it means ‘use the current workplane’. After triggering Orient to a Plan, just click OK.

The above workplane shortcuts work well after using the “Set Workplane” tools in the various add-ins.

Set Current View as HomeUsing these shortcuts, you can quickly reorient yourself and use the Viewcube properly. I recommend that you set keyboard shortcuts for:

You will be working in 3D a lot, and making lots of 3D views cropped to section boxes.

Did you know that Point Clouds when imported to Revit have a Phase Created and a Phase Demolished parameter? Revit respects this when it comes to Phase Filters and Graphic Overrides – keep this in mind if you can’t ‘find’ a point cloud in your project.

It seems that Scan to BIM can still interact with a Point Cloud in a primary option of an option set.

If you are using Revit 2013 and you want to restrict Revit from highlighting (pre selecting) a point cloud, which can be annoying, just place it in a Design Option.

Working on the same point files using Cloudworx will consume about 2gb of RAM, depending on your view settings.

You may have to periodically close and re-open Revit, depending on your system specs.

Working with 2 of these 7gb PCG files in Revit 2013 on XP64 with Scan to BIM will consume about 11gb of RAM easily.

Indexing 2 x 27 gb PTX using Recap version 1.0 and basically default settings.

Will take about 7 hours for a mid-range PC.

Revit will consume big amounts of memory when working with large point clouds.

Scan to BIM seems to be the better tool for feature extraction and geometry creation, while Leica Cloudworx puts you in direct contact with the original point cloud data – not decimated by Revit. On the project in question, we received the following from the surveyor: I will add to this post over time to make it as useful as possible. I explored various different workflows and add-ins. This post is about my experience working with point clouds and Revit 2013 on a recent project. Bring on the automatic, one-click “Make a Building from my Point Cloud” solution.

Happily, OCR software improved, and I hope that geometry-from-point-cloud automation will also improve. It reminds me of the early days of document OCR – you could scan a document, but there was no easy way to infer the intelligence (text) of the document. I find it interesting that we can receive a point cloud (laser scan) of a project, which essentially describes the geometry and colour of the whole 3D space, and yet have to re-model everything in Revit elements to make it actually useful in a BIM / FM context.
