Scale of Point Cloud on Survey Control

[GPRS-DTimmons]

Good morning,

We often run into a bad conversion situation of importing point clouds into Revit (2014).  Autodesk products appear to assume all point clouds come in from Recap as Metric and are imported into Autodesk products as International Feet.  The Revit Family Type Scale is 3.280840 (Units = International Feet from Metric).  We need to change the scale because the cloud is on Survey Control.  In other words, we need to read US Survey Feet.  Unfortunatly because this is so slight of a difference, we need more decimal values to scale.  3.280834 is too large, 3.280833 is too small.  Does anyone know how to increase the Revit precision to me more in line with AutoCAD?

Thanks!

Did you try to type the whole number even if the rounding is not detecting all numbers

for example if you input 3.28083365545, i know it will show 3.280834 but not sure if in the model is 3.28083365545 or 3.280834

Otherwise this seems to be hardcoded and i need to escalate that to the development team but before doing it, I want to know if putting the full input, does this work or not.

This is a reminder that we need additional information from you to go forward. Once you provide the information requested, we will be able to resume troubleshooting and see what i could do with it and with the development team in near future for the  upcoming Revit versions.

No, sorry that doesn't work.  Revit seems to only carry out to 6 decimal places.  Using Excel, It seems like I can hit my coordinates if I add in a couple more decimal places.  The image below shows some examples inside Revit with a real coordinate set.  You are welcome to my sample RCS and Revit 2014 file to show this.  This is a problem with Recap to Revit that I hope can get solved.

Thanks!

I escalated the case to the development team for now, In case i need the file i will contact you.

I will keep you posted once I have any updates on when this fix could be released.

Did you had the chance to index them in Revit 2016 see it the issue is still there.

[GPRS-DTimmons]

I just took a look at indexing. 

The information I have sent in was indexed with Autodesk Recap version 2.1.1.2.

Per your request, I've tried to index with Revit 2016.  When trying to index with Revit 2016, there is an option to index in "Feet" but nothing indicates US Survey or International.  When indexing is attempted with Revit 2016 (feet selected), a red bar appears and indicates a failure to index.

Any development on this issue since 2016?
