different point cloud density in printed sheet

[JeldeB]

Hello Revit friends!

I am working on a project with a large point cloud of 288 scans (one single recap project). For my client I want to print out PDF-sheets of point cloud views and slices. As you can see in the attached screenshot, I have problems with the point cloud density. In some areas the cloud is not displayed with the full density. After repeating the printing several times the density become better but there are still areas with a bad resolution.

I am looking forward for solutions!

In Revit 2014 the printout of a point cloud works without any problem. Maybe the point cloud engine in 2015 is not the same as in 2014...

I hope that Autodesk will solve this problem in the next update for 2015.

Hi,

Is the same point density visible in Recap?

Also, I've noticed, that point cloud density visibility is dependant on the graphics card memory.

I was working on an airport project with a huge point cloud scan and a more gpu memory made a big difference.

Thanks,

Maciej

Hi Maciej,

No in Recap the pointcloud is displayed with normal density.

As said in my last post, unfortunately Revit 2015 does not display the cloud as good as in 2014.

I would work with 2014, but with a mouse icon over the cloud, in 2014 the whole cloud becomes blue and you cannot see surface structures any more. The sollution in 2015 with the light colors is better..
