Publish coordinates from Revit back to Point cloud.

[robert.klempau]

Hello,

I placed this question also at the Recap360 Forum.

The shared coordinate functionality is very powerful in BIM projects.

When using Shared coordinates in your project, you can use the Publish coordinates function to push the shared origin to the linked project. That works for Revit models and DWG files.

Unfortunately, this does not work for Point Clouds.

Question 1: (To Autodesk)

As in Recap you can change the origin and orientation of the coordinate system.

Will there be a shared coordinate functionality in Recap and Revit in the future?  

Question2:

What is the best practice at this moment using the latest Autodesk software to work in a BIM project where shared coordinates are used and several point cloud files.

We want to use the point cloud files in AutoCAD, Revit and Navisworks.

Note: The exact location of the shared coordinate is not a visible point in the Point Cloud File.

Example:

When you start a new project or have an existing one. The first thing to do is to define the shared coordinate where everyone sticks to.

This can be a physical object (survey marker) in the real world like you see below.

When you scan the new or existing location you could set the shared origin and publish it to all other team members.

Hello, Robert.

Regarding the problem with the coordinates on Shared parameters between Revit and ReCap, there is actually an article about this situation, available >HERE<.

I would like to ask that you look at this article, and let me know if this answers this question you are posting.
