Pointcloud classification visibility and point size control

Pointcloud classification visibility and point size control

Add control in the VG-menu to toggle/overwrite the seperate classes of pointclouds (i.e. Ground, Buildings, Vegetation etc.).

Also allow us to control the size of points or make them adaptive depending on distance from camera so we can still see the points once we are zoomed in on the points in an elevation.

I use a 4K screen and reduce its resolution to something like 1280 x 1024 when working with point clouds. Maybe this should be merged with this idea: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-ideas/enhanced-point-cloud-display-amp-plot-control/idi-p/71880...

To add onto this: changing the format that Revit uses or adding another format could help with this. I'm specifically thinking about the open source EPT format which supports very large pointclouds, LODs, streaming, compression etc.

 

A lot of times you also get pointcloud data in e57 or LAZ and have to convert it to RCP for which you need Recap Pro. Without a simple converter built into Revit, this raises the barrier of entry for use of pointcloud data and many firms just don't want to deal with the hassle.
