Creating Toposolid from Point Cloud

[GregHanlon]

Are you able to create a Revit toposolid directly from a Point Cloud or I need to convert to DWG or CSV?

Hi @GregHanlon ,

there are a few add-ons to do that. However, if you want a clean topo, better clean and create dwg and then insert to Revit.

here is one that might help that I used before. also, you can use the cloudcompare to clean and clear dwg for free.

Thanks @_Vijay , I have used Scan Terrain in the past as well but it only works on Toposurfaces; not toposolids. I haven't tried this but, in theory, you could use that add-on in 2023, make a toposurface, then copy it into a 2024/25 model and convert it to a toposolid. It feels weird but might work.

yes it will work. i have done like that a few times. 🙂

I thought 2025 can create a toposolid either from CAD or CSV, so unless you use third party plug ins, like Environment, you have to convert to .csv.
