Problems viewing point cloud in AutoCAD

[Anonymous]

Afternoon all,

I have a native point cloud file which I have taken into ReCap and saved as *.rcp. when in CAD I import the file via POINTCLOUDATTACH, identify the origin on screen and a bounding box appears saying 'point clouds are not displayed in 2D visual style'. Now this seems an obvious fix - alter the visual style right..? Well I have done that and changed from realistic/conceptual etc etc and the point cloud does not appear.

I appreciate this may well be a stupid question though having trawled the web for the last half an hour I cannot find a solution I would appreciate it if anyone could shed any light on this for me.

Please see below screen grab

Hi,

Point clouds are displayed only when a 3D graphics card is available and the current visual style is not 2D Wireframe. Otherwise, a bounding box is displayed as a substitute for the point cloud.

Hi,

The strange thing is the Scan shows up in ReCap and also in Revit? Attached is the graphics card, should be more than capable

You'll want to verify that your video card is certified here: http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/syscert?siteID=123112&id=18844534
