Attaching Point Clouds

Before a point cloud can be used in Navisworks, the scan file from which it was derived must first be indexed. This is accomplished using the Autodesk ReCap command. After indexing the file in Autodesk ReCap, use the Attach command to place the point cloud in the Navisworks graphics window.

To attach a point cloud:
  1. Click on the Factory tab.
  2. Navigate to the folder containing the indexed file (.rcs or .rcp) you want to attach.
  3. Select the file and click Open.
