Revit LT relink pointcloud

I just received a Revit 2020 model containing a linked pointcloud (RCP). Now I want to open the model in Revit Lite 2020. While opening the model I get the message 'Revit could not find or read 1 reference. What do you want to do?' and select the option 'Open Manage Links to correct the problem'. Then I can't reload the pointcloud anywhere.. Does anyone know how I can reload/relink the pointcloud. 

 

In this Revit says it is possible, but that does not work..

The Linked Pointcloud is not embedded in the model (It is very similar to an XREF in Autocad). You need to ask them to send you the pointcloud as well

 

Then you can use Reload from ...locate the file path where you saved the point cloud and reload it

Thank you for your reply.

 

Revit Lite can't link a pointcloud in the model. But it must be possible to Relink a pointcloud. Under Manage Links there is no 'Pointcloud' option with Revit Lite, so I can't relink it either. 

 

I have rcp file.

In this link Revit says it is possible to relink a pointcloud (I now it is not possible to link a new pointcloud in a Revit lite model):

I just wonder how if a pointcloud is not visible at 'Manage Links'.

I did see that but it says applicable to 2021 LT...

 

Nonetheless, as mentioned in reply 2, you do need the pointcloud file is required to use the Unresolved References dialog to determine the required file location and place/move the point cloud file to that location.
