How to display origin so it will show in point cloud import to revit.....

We imported E57 from trimble into Recap.....Does anyone know how to view or align to once imported into revit.

Just asking because we would like to align differect scanned point clouds in revit, using same origin.

Link RCP into a blank Revit model origin to origin, then link that model to yours.

Keep in mind that Point Cloud snaps don't work with PCs that are in Linked RVTs and, Bind doesn't work with Linked PC-RVTs. 

 

FWIW.
