Instructions For Use - Surface from Pointcloud Selection

1. Insert pointcloud into Autodesk® Revit® via the pointcloud insert tab. We suggest working in 3D view and activating the section box to focus on specific structures in the scan.
2. Select the pointcloud instance you wish to select points from.
3. Draw a selection box around the points you wish to convert to a surface element
4. You will be prompted to choose whether to create a topo, floor or roof element.
5. Choose the maximum number of points with the decimate slider, and for floor and roof, you will be able to designate a type and level to the new element.
6. The app will convert your selected point data to a new element that accurately matches the original scan data.

Instructions For Use - Surface from Adaptive Points

1. Insert pointcloud into Revit via the pointcloud insert tab. We suggest working in 3D view and activating the section box to focus on specific structures in the scan.
2. Add adaptive points to your document that mark the surface you wish to create- ensure that snap to pointclouds is enabled in Revit snapping settings. Suggest working in top-down 3D view with section box enabled.
3. Run the Surface from the Adaptive Points tool -You will be prompted to choose whether to create a topo, floor or roof element.
4. ALL adaptive points from the document will be read to map a new surface to those points. you will be able to designate a type and level to the new element.

Instructions For Use - Add Adaptive Points to Existing

1. Insert pointcloud into Revit via the pointcloud insert tab. We suggest working in 3D view and activating the section box to focus on specific structures in the scan.
2. Add adaptive points to your document that mark points you wish to add to an existing surface - ensure that snap to pointclouds is enabled in Revit snapping settings. Suggest working in top-down 3D view with section box enabled.
3. Run the Add to Existing Surface tool -You will be prompted to choose whether to add to a topography, floor or roof element.
4. Then choose which element to add to -  it will read ALL adaptive points from the document and add them to the surface of the element.

4. You will be prompted to select the left-hand point then the right-hand point of the wall ( for the curved walls you will also be prompted for a 3rd point at the center of the curve).
5. The wall will be created, then you will be prompted for another new wall, or to finish using the tool.

Instructions For Use - Model Lines

1. Insert pointcloud into Revit via the pointcloud insert tab. We suggest working in 3D view and activating the section box to focus on specific structures in the scan.

Works with structured and unstructured pointcloud instances. Supports shared co-ordinates. writes 10-800 points for floors and roofs, 200-20,000 for Topography Surfaces. Exporter supports pts format when reading directly from point cloud instances, and XYZ CSV format for point cloud and adaptive point data.

Import to surface supports a maximum of 1500 points for Floor and 1000 Points for Roof. Processing maximum points for floors and roofs may take 6-15 minutes depending on computer processing power

It does not work with Revit Family files (.rfa). Does not support the creation of sloped glazing roofs. Import to surface supports a maximum of 1500 points for Floor and 1000 Points for Roof. Processing maximum points for floors and roofs may take 6-15 minutes depending on computer processing power
