Exporting Model and Point cloud to Navisworks

We have a point cloud in a Revit project along with a 3D model inserted (massed) from AutoCAD.

Navisworks is great for touring the model so we want to export the model and point cloud into Navisworks.

I swear I've done this before, but now it's not working.

I'm using Revit 2016 and I installed the Navisworks Exporter plugins. 

All I'm getting is Revit and AutoCAD stuff in Navisworks after the export. The Point cloud is not going.

Again, I swear I used to do this. 

I know Opening an AutoCAD file with a pointcloud into Navisworks works fine.

Am I missing something?

Hi hardin,

 

Currently, Navisworks doesn't support the export of the linked point cloud file from Revit model. This was reported to development team as a wishlist.

 

As workaround, like you mentioned, you can attached the point cloud file in AutoCAD and then open in Navisworks, or you can also try to open the point cloud file directly in Navisworks. Below you can find the laser scan formats currently supported by Navisworks 2016:

Thanks.

Hi there, I'm having the same problem and found this from 2015... any news on this matter?

 

My problem is that we use Revit to relocate three .rcp and .rcs cloudpoint, and this relocation won't follow in Naviswork when the single .rcp and .rcs file are appended... Is there any way to apply the current Revit location of the cloudpoint into Naviswork?

As a work around, you’ll need to figure out how far in the x y and z directions (and rotation) you moved it in revit and duplicate that using transforms in Navis.

I am hoping that this issue may have been resolved by now. I'm using Revit & Navis Manage 2019 and am hoping somehow to be able to bring a revit model complete with the point clouds in that model into Navisworks. Is this possible now. even the ability to bring an autoCAD model with a linked point cloud in it into Revit would be a good setp forward...

 

Cheers

Lachlan

It IS possible to bring AutoCAD with its point cloud into Navisworks. It's been a while since I've done this, though.

So, technically, you could export your Revit model to AutoCAD, attach the point cloud in AutoCAD, then OPEN the AutoCAD file in Navisworks. APPEND may not bring the cloud in, if I recall.

I agree, though, it would be much easier to just be able to open [with Navisworks] a Revit file with a point cloud attached and have it all come into Navisworks.

It would be very helpful if this was possible.  Exporting into autocad. then trying to re-align the point cloud to the same location is a waste of time.  each time you make modifications to the model this process needs to be repeated.

Well, the whole process doesn't have to be repeated. At least you don't have to realign the point cloud every time. Just export the new model from Revit. Then you can Edit>Copy the point cloud from a drawing where it is already aligned, and Edit>Paste to original coordinates in the newly exported file. Or, vic-versa, copy/paste the newly exported model into the point cloud file and you just have to refresh the Navisworks model.

I do agree though, reading the point cloud from the Revit file would be much easier.

How is this not fixed yet??? This was requested 6 YEARS ago. Make your programs work with each other. Please and thanks.

Problems like this is why I have learned to look for solutions outside of Autodesk.  It's amazing how many simple things you would think would work within Autodesk products just don't and never get addressed.

8 years now and still nothing

 

Autodesk does not care, all they do is buy up other companies and destroy whatever they worked on.

Revit is the absolute worst piece of software i'd ever have to use. It's ridiculous how this became the standard.

Yeah, you would think, if it were as bad as some people claim it is and how easy changes are to implement, that all of the various industries where Revit is the standard would have switched to something better by now. It has been more than a couple of decades since it started to became so popular. 

 

You would also think that someone would have made a better product that makes everyone happy and be able to implement any request for a new feature as soon as it is needed by anyone for any reason.

I just found myself searching the same thing again, however many years later, and Autodesk still hasn't gotten off its ass to fix this. This is beyond ridiculous. You are just asking for another construction software (that won't sell out to you) to rise up and best you.
