Support for point cloud in published NWD file from Navisworks

[rafal.lewandowski]

This subject has been raised, but I wanted to describe exactly what the problem is. When user publishes NWD file containing point cloud in Navisworks with "Embed ReCap and Texuture Data" option checked:

And when load it with BIM 360 Glue, a message appears: "Gluing error".

Only saving the file as NWD with appended *.rcs scans and saved locally allows to open the model from BIM 360 Glue. This is a big limitation especially if there are many people working on the project in different locations. Then all users must have the same path to the file e.g. C:\cloud.rcs.

Adding models to the BIM 360 Docs and pointing the path to *.rcs files using Autodesk Desktop Connector also does not solve the problem because the drive is user-specific: C:\Users\<user name>\BIM 360\<hub name>\Sample Project\Project Files\<file name>.rcs

It would be great if the point cloud was more supported by BIM 360.

Yes!!! It would be very nice if published .nwds with scans could be loaded into BIM360. Has there been any change since this post?

Thanks

Yes this would be a great feature any update?
