If the mesh needs to be inserted into Revit, the Mesh Import from OBJ files Add-In from Truevis might be considered. These may further be processed using Autodesk Remake or Autodesk Meshmixer (Free). The size of the object is limited to 30x30x30 meters. Drawing a fence around points from various orientations allow one to filter points to create the mesh object from. One may then create a mesh object from a selection of the point cloud. The view from the scanner itself displays like a 3D panoramic render, and one can also navigate through the point cloud in 3D.

Within recap it is easy to navigate through the point cloud. As long as three separate planar surfaces, each of different 3D orientation, and as far apart as possible are common to the two scans, then a match should be found. I chose to register them automatically.Ī manual registration is also possible if one has the Pro features. Now they need to be registered (aligned with each other). The trial version of Recap may be found here:Ĭreating a Project and choose a default save location. Specifically it’s meshing functionality and how this may be of benefit to someone using Revit. Recently I was asked to investigate a set of point clouds using Autodesk Recap 360 Pro (Trial Version). Companies provide a variety of scanning services.
