How to Create a 3D Revit Model from a Laser Scan (FULL LENGTH TUTORIAL) 

Thanks for your support!

Glad it was helpful!

hello, if you're working with point clouds and Revit, I also suggest to visit the youtube channel and / or the web site of aurivus... their solutions make our work much easier ;-)

Hi, @khaledmahmoud4227! Thank you for letting us know that our video was helpful! We'll definitely share your comment with the team for future video ideas.

It´s correct, it´s important duplicate the element so that the others do not change

Hi @cjnoble, we're glad to hear it was helpful!

@@LeicaBLK yes, our team of scantobim has been using this video for their training.

You're welcome! Thanks for the suggestion - that's a great idea!

Hi @onkar9593, we love to see everyone's scans. Please feel free to share it on social media and tag our channels!

You're welcome! Hope this is helpful

Great suggestion! Thank you for the feedback!

@@LeicaBLK Yes, thank you. I look forward to the Cloudworx for AutoCAD or Revit review or tutorial.

You are welcome - thanks for the feedback!

Glad to hear that!

Good question. I just asked the same. For me I just duplicated, changed the dimensions and changed the Type name.

Yeah, he missed that detail. Should have duplicated and renamed as a new type. But for the tutorial its okay.

Thank you!

Hi! We currently do not have a Patreon or a Udemy course but we do offer HDSU: hdsu-smartplan.com/ - It offers step by step training on your Leica hardware and software for Reality Capture with certain devices.

Thank you for the feedback, Adam!

Thank you!

Hi, Did your client update the file path within Revit? He has to do it for hime to see the point cloud in revit. It doesn't work like for materials in renders. You have two possible solutions: 1- Since you put the point cloud in the "revit shared" folder. You can set that path in the Options of Revit at the file paths section. (but this is kind of weird. You should never put work files in the install folders of any software, NEVER do that. 2- You go to the insert tab of Revit and under the point cloud section you will find your file missing and reload it with the new path. As a conclusion i would say that the best practice is to make a folder that contains sub forlders. One for the RVT file and another one for the point cloud files. This way,everything is clear and safely stored. You can easily compress the hole and send one RAR or ZIP file to your client who will uncompress it to the path of his choice. He will likely have to do the reload path anyways. Good luck

For anybody running into this issue, as already stated, one big piece of solving this puzzle is simply having the client use "Manage links" to reload the cloud by relinking the file to whatever location they saved the cloud on their local system. However, there is a 2nd big piece which I have seen people struggle with: the RCP file is completely useless to the client unless you also send along the RCS cloud files which ReCap automatically generates in the "support" folder. Let's say you have a point cloud called "House," ReCap will make a "House.rcp" file and a "House Support" folder which will contain something like "basement.rcs," "first floor.rcs," and "floor 2.rcs" (note, the naming and the delineation of the scans depends on the type of scanner you are using and the way you are publishing your files. You might also end up with something like "house 001.rcs" "house 002.rcs" and so on where each individual scan position is saved as an individual RCS file). The RCS files are the actual point clouds which is why these files are so much larger in size than the RCP - they may contain 100s of thousands or millions of points depending. But the RCP is simply like a "linking" tool that AutoCAD and Revit uses to display the points contained in the RCS files without LOADING the actual clouds, which cuts down on the file size of your Revit project (sorry I'm not a programmer so I may not be using the proper jargon to describe how the computer does it, but you get the "point" 😉) So to summarize, when you send the Revit file and the RCP file, don't forget to send all the RCS files in the support folder or their RCP file will not have any actual cloud data to display. And again, make sure they use "reload from" in the "Manage Links" dialog box to fix the broken link on their local machine. Hope this helps!!! If you would like some more assistance, please feel free to reach out: info@scansure3D.com

As you keep the point Cloud in your machine ( C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\Revit Shared), only your machine can access it. Please try send it to OneDrive.

that's what I wanna know

probably a Leica BLK360

Hi! The scanner being used in this video is the Leica BLK360 G1. We hope you enjoyed the video!

Do you recommend any other software . I am looking for software that limits the process .Thanks

@@guyzamir9908 If your plan is to do a job, you must first see the needs of your client. In what format it is required and with that you decide.

@@guyzamir9908 hello, if you're still looking for software, what makes modelling from point clouds easier, i suggest to visit the youtube channel or / and the web site from aurivus... they provide an AI-based cloud service, what recognises objects in point clouds and for Revit they provide even a plug-in (for free), what enables a very comfortable work ;-)
