How to load the 3D point cloud of Undet for Revit

Understanding key concepts like creating RCP files and differentiating between RCP density levels is crucial for effectively loading 3D point clouds in Undet for Revit.

This guide will walk you through the process of loading a 3D Point Cloud using Undet for Revit.

1. When setting up an Undet Point Cloud project in the Undet Indexer, ensure to choose ‘Create an RCP file.’

2. After loading the Undet point cloud, open the corresponding RCP file using the ‘Slice Manager.’

NOTE. If you didn’t create the RCP file during the initial setup in the Undet Indexer, you can generate it within the Slice Manager, which may take some time.

TIP: After the initial creation, opening the RCP file for subsequent times is quick and instant. The initial setup takes some time, but once the file is generated, you won’t experience delays when accessing it later.

3D Point Cloud density

In creating point cloud projects using Undet Indexer, the density of the generated RCP file is intricately linked to the chosen project type. For vast outdoor settings, it’s wise to use fewer data points to save computer power while still getting the main features. However, for indoor projects with more details, using more data points is better for accuracy. This deliberate density choice becomes paramount as it directly shapes the precision and computational efficiency level in the resulting RCP file.
