Revit 2019 insert Point Cloud

I am using Revit 2019 and need to insert a point cloud, with a file extension of las.  Revit 2019 only has an option of using an rcp file or rcs file.  If I go back to Revit 2017, there is an option to insert raw data files for a point cloud.  Any suggestions/ ideas why the raw data file option was removed from Revit 2019?  Or, am I missing this somewhere?

Hi @rkonik

 

Yes, I saw that in Revit 2018 - the insert point cloud link - the raw format is supported, pic below:

In Revit 2019, the insert point cloud shows only RCP and RCS format.

 

@loboarch Can you please provide more feedback on this issue?

 

Thanks,

The support for raw point cloud files was removed from Revit 2019. It is documented here:

The workflow is to first use ReCap to index and convert the files to either .rcp or .rcs files and then bring these into Revit. You can do this with the free version of ReCap or if you are subscribed to the AEC collection you have access to ReCap Pro.

The reason this was done, is because previous versions of Revit had its own "indexer" in order to open the raw point cloud files directly. The indexer in ReCap has better performance in a number of ways. It was decided maintaining an inferior indexer inside of Revit  was a duplication of effort and did not make sense when the ReCap indexer could do a better job and would only have to be maintained in one place.

Jeff, Thanks for updating us with that information.  We processed the point cloud in Revit 2017.  We will try it in ReCap and see how that works out.
