So, I have a 3D model of a building, and I have a database, where I have a list of 3D points. This points are not associated to any element ID or anything.
I want to highlight all these points in my model. I can do this pretty quickly with PointCloud. But, the main problem is when I zoom into the model, this points created by PointClouds disappears. So, if there is any tool that I can use to make the points bigger, it can solve my purpose.
If we can't do that with PointClouds, then is there any other alternative of it in Revit API.
I am using Revit 2019.
I can have about 100,000 points at once.
Below is all the approaches I have tried and the problems with each approach.
DirectShape - Creating a sphere or a line is too time consuming. It takes too long to load in the model.
AVF - It's a bit faster than Creating some shapes but it doesn't get transferred when I change the view, ex. (from "yard view" to "living room view"). Also, when I move into 3D model and change the angle of the view, Revit stops and it takes way too long to load. So, it's very inconvenient.
PointClouds - points highlighted are too small so when I zoom a bit into the model, they disappear.
Below is the post for reference, where I have discussed about above approaches, how I have achieved those steps. The main concern of below post was speed, and PointCloud achieved it, but now I got into another problem that PointCloud disappears while zooming into the model.
