New template for consultants creating point clouds

[Sahay_R]

We are looking at designing a template for consultants to submit 3D scans to us per our standards. Has anyone had any experience with this so far?

My thoughts are to create a template using our existing Architectural template as a base. Delete all sheets, any families and details, only leave building plans, sections, and elevations, possibly a 3D view. What material would be pertinent to add /  leave in?

Thank you!

3D Scans are Recap files.  Why do you need a template?  What you need is sending them the shared coordinates in either a Revit file or a DWG file to use as a base for their scanning.

Oh OK. So would the Revit file that we send them need anything else besides the Shared Coordinates? No views no standards no nothing?

[ToanDN]

Our surveyors never ask for Revit files.  They specifically asked for DWG file exported from Revit with shared coordinates, grid lines, and exterior walls.
