Pretty Interesting new set of feature in Revit
Architecture is, Point Cloud. Point Cloud is basically a collection of data in
X,Y, and Z ordinates. You can collect this data by 3D scanners and then these
3D scanned point clouds will help you to create 3D models.
Point
cloud files are .rcp and .rcs type format files. If the file is in raw format
such as .pcg or .las format, then you will be prompted to index the data. The
indexed point cloud file will then be converted into .rcp and .rcs format files
which is further inserted in a Revit project. After inserting the point cloud
file, you will use that file in the project. This file helps the user to
provide a higher level of visual appearance of existing condition of a
building. To view the existing building, capture it using laser scanners. Laser
Scanners are used to sample point from the surface of the existing building and
saves that data as point cloud. The data collected by the laser scanner is
huge. Thus, Revit links a point cloud as a reference rather than embedding the
complete file. Now, the existing building will be loaded in a project in the
form of 3D scanned point cloud. Therefore, you can modify the existing building
condition easily and the work performance will also be improved due to better
visibility.
