A problem in rendering a point cloud in revit

[Anonymous]

Hi

I've written a code to read point cloud data from a text file and render it in Revit. In this code, a uniform grid cell is created, following the bounding box of the point cloud, and the points are placed in each cell.

 This code works good and I can see the results but there is a problem that I couldn't resolve.

when I zoom in, all the points are shown, but when I zoom out, only a part of the points can be seen, I have attached two screenshots; why is this happening? 

I don't also know how many cells I should consider for my point cloud data. In point clouds with a higher number of points, almost the same problem happens for me.

Thank you very much!

Best, Saeed.

This sounds like something that you might want to explore in the end user interface as well. 

I don't think that the API provides any point-cloud-specific settings that you can use to influence this behaviour.

Thanks for your reply,

But I've just implemented a simple point cloud engine like what we have in SDK. The only difference is that I create a bounding box, split it into a number of cells, and then read the coordinate of points and place them into the cells. However, I don't know why when I zoom in, all points are shown but when I zoom out, some points are disappeared. 

I tried so much but couldn't find any way to fix it.

Kind regards, Saeed

Do you see the same behaviour in the end user interface?

No i don't see the same thing there. seems like that the points can't be read when i zoom out. I tried so much but couldn't solve the problem.

How can this happen ?

Many thanks already
