PointCloud to Surface Suite 2024

PointCloud to Surface Suite 2024 is a powerful Revit plugin that caters to the needs of surveyors, architects, builders, and developers working on as-built projects. With its ability to read laser scan data imported into Autodesk Revit, this plugin streamlines the process of creating complex surfaces in a BIM project to accurately match as-built conditions. Whether working with structured or unstructured point cloud instances, this suite of 14 tools offers a range of functionalities to enhance the workflow and efficiency of users.

Surface from Point Cloud Selection

One of the standout features of PointCloud to Surface Suite is the Surface from Point Cloud Selection tool. This tool allows users to draw a selection box around specific points of interest and choose whether they should be mapped as a topography, floor, or roof element. For roofs and floors, users can select the build type and level for the new element. The section box can be used to filter out points on a broad scale, enabling precise filtering of points to be added to each new element.

Surface from Adaptive Points

Another valuable tool included in the suite is Surface from Adaptive Points. This tool reads all adaptive points from the document and generates a new topography, floor, or roof element mapped to those points. By taking advantage of the adaptive point ability to snap to point clouds, this tool simplifies the process of creating elements aligned with the scan data.

Wall Tool and Model Lines

The Wall Tool and Model Lines tools offer additional functionalities for users to mark out wall lines and model lines with adaptive points that snap to the point cloud. Users can create straight or curved walls that align with their marks, enhancing the accuracy and precision of the BIM model.

With 4 Utilities included in the suite, users can easily hide/show point cloud instances, access graphics settings for point clouds, clear all adaptive points from the document, and add adaptive points with a single click. The add adaptive button automatically checks for the correct family instance and loads it from the app bundle if not found in the document, ensuring a seamless user experience.

Furthermore, PointCloud to Surface Suite offers 3 Exporters to write point data to commonly used external files such as PTS and CSV from point cloud selection, and XYZ CSV from adaptive points. Additionally, users can import saved or selected point data into their project as a floor, roof, or topography, or as a set of adaptive points, enhancing the interoperability of the plugin.

Conclusion

Overall, PointCloud to Surface Suite 2024 is a comprehensive plugin that significantly enhances the workflow of surveyors, architects, builders, and developers working on as-built projects. With its range of tools and functionalities designed to streamline the process of creating complex surfaces in a BIM project, this plugin offers immense value to users. By leveraging laser scan data and point cloud instances, PointCloud to Surface Suite empowers users to accurately match as-built conditions and improve the efficiency of their projects. Whether you are working on topographies, floors, roofs, or model lines, this suite of tools provides the necessary functionalities to achieve precise results. If you are looking to optimize your workflow and enhance the accuracy of your BIM projects, PointCloud to Surface Suite 2024 is a must-have plugin for your Revit toolkit.
