About this app

Revit users, rejoice! The days of relying on old-fashioned, low-density topographic curves are long gone. Thanks to the incredible Lidar Topography plugin, architects and engineers can now create higher-quality models that provide a realistic depiction of the terrain. This groundbreaking plugin imports and interprets high-density Lidar airplane scans, allowing you to work with free raw data and surpass the limitations of traditional CAD cartography.

Unleashing the Power of Lidar

The Lidar Topography plugin opens up a world of possibilities by utilizing freely available online Lidar datasets. By incorporating these high-density point clouds into your Revit projects, you can achieve an absolute magical topographical surface that accurately represents the terrain. This is particularly useful for projects that require tight curve intervals and a precise description of the landscape.

Unlocking Unparalleled Efficiency and Cost Savings

One of the most significant advantages of Lidar Topography is the ability to save both time and money. Instead of purchasing inaccurate and expensive old-fashioned cartography, you can leverage the power of free laser scan Lidar datasets. The plugin even provides convenient links to various Lidar sources, ensuring you have access to the most relevant data for your project.

Processing massive amounts of point cloud datasets is no longer a daunting task. Lidar Topography is optimized to take full advantage of multi-core processors, enabling lightning-fast creation of your terrain. With this plugin, you can process millions of point clouds in a matter of seconds, dramatically reducing the time required for topographic modeling.
