Point Cloud on BIM360

Anonymous — Wed, 20 May 2020 07:44:47 GMT

I have use a rcp file from pts/ e57 format on point cloud imported into both Navisworks and Revit and export to BIM360. None of it able to display point cloud on BIM360. It said "Model is empty, there is no geometry for the viewers to show". Any method to view point cloud on BIM360?

Afraid not unless mesh or photo files - https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/bim-360/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/ENU/BIM360D-Document-Management/files/GUID-0E5E18BC-343A-47FC-B921-BDD1A40DA9F4-html.html

Hello. Try this:

You have to save .RCP file by Recap Pro.

I remember seeing (maybe a year ago) a Forge public roadmap that had ReCap on it. I can't find it now, but it was reasonably open about their direction with reality capture.

I imagine this is a complex engineering problem that will/can be adopted by most Autodesk products, and 3rd party. I wish this was available now, and unless Autodesk have change directions, I hope to see it some time in the near future. It is a large missing piece of the workflow.

Have a look at some of the later updates for Recap where you can publish a model to the cloud which makes it a viewable project within BIM 360 or ACC. The feature is being updated as the tech is improving - has improved a lot already.

Doesn't that only publish the scan's RealView? Which is certainly a great and logical start with it's integration into ACC/B360. I haven't yet seen any word on points being viewable, or with deep integration into products.

Yes that is currently the only thing it does. I know FARO scene allows for both but to me the realviews is really wat I care about as I have the rcs in Revit.
