  • About Point Clouds
    You can use point clouds to provide the existing condition of a building or site. Use this information as the a starting point for the Revit model.
  • Video: Use Point Cloud Data in Revit
    Author as-built models using Point Cloud data for remodeling and retrofit projects.
  • Insert a Point Cloud File
    Insert an indexed point cloud file into a Revit project.
  • Change Colors for a Point Cloud
    While indexing a raw data point cloud file or inserting an indexed file, Revit determines the default color mode for the point cloud, depending on the color data in the source file. Use a Color Mode option to specify visual settings for a point cloud.
  • Visibility/Graphics for Point Clouds
    To modify the visibility and graphics of point clouds in each view, use the Point Clouds tab in the Visibility/Graphics Overrides dialog.
