PointSense for Revit®

Product catalog summary
Overview: PointSense for Revit® is an add-on designed to enhance the processing of large point clouds within Autodesk Revit®. It facilitates the creation of 3D models directly from point cloud data, offering a range of tools for efficient BIM element modeling and detailing.
Key Features:
  • 3D Modeling: Users can create 3D model lines and construction points using real 3D point snap, independent of Revit® work planes. The tool allows for the intersection of model planes and the creation of fitted work planes directly in point clouds.
  • Surface Analysis: Enables comparison between point clouds and Revit® models, with results exportable as profile lines or to databases for creating complex ground surface models.
  • Automated Functionality: Includes automatic wall creation and alignment, deformed floor slab creation, and ground surface modeling. It also supports modeling pipe runs from scan data for MEP applications.
  • Family Editor Integration: Allows the use of 3D laser scanner data directly in the Revit® family editor, facilitating the creation of object-specific families for various architectural elements.
  • Navigation and Management: A section manager helps crop point clouds within Revit, improving orientation and detail recognition in large projects.
Technical Requirements:
  • Operating System: Windows 7, 8, 8.1, or 10 (64-bit).
  • Hardware: Multi-core Intel® Xeon® or i-Series processor, or AMD® equivalent, with 16 GB RAM, DirectX® 11 compatible graphics card, and SSD with at least 5 GB free memory.
  • Supported Revit® Versions: Revit® 2015 or later.
Global Availability: PointSense for Revit® is available in multiple countries including Australia, Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, and more.

PointSense for Revit®-1

PointSense for Revit Effective processing of 3D laser scanner data in Revit ® ® PointSense for Revit® is a perfect complement for users working with point cloud data in Autodesk Revit®. This add-on offers processing functionality of scan data with customized commands for modeling and detailing BIM elements: Ground surfaces Walls/doors/windows Pipe runs Columns/beams/pillars Roofs and many more Roofs, stairs and many more PointSense for Revit ® Solution Revit® 3D model from 3D scanner data Point Cloud in the Family Editor PointSense permits a quick and intuitive workflow for processing large point clouds in Revit® and creates inventory architecture that can be used in BIM. Create 3D-models directly in Revit® Point Clouds PointSense for Revit® features a wide range of 3D construction aids. Within the application users can create 3D model lines and construction points using real 3D point snap in the point cloud, independently of Revit® work planes. Users can intersect model planes and thus find exact intersection lines and intersection points as well as create fitted work planes directly in the point clouds. Compare the model with reality Surface analysis enables the comparison between the point cloud and the Revit® model. The results can be exported as profile lines or to databases. From the profile lines complex ground surface models can be created along with complex model components. Save time and money with automated functionality With PointSense for Revit® walls can be created quickly and precisely. The wall types for different wall thicknesses are defined automatically. The wall alignment tool allows users to globally align, correct and fix extracted walls segments throughout an entire model Fit and align walls automatically with intuitive tooling Create models directly in the point cloud using 3D construction aids and real 3D point snap Fit Revit® work planes in the point cloud Calculate measurements from ortho images directly in the Revit® project Process scan data in the Revit® Family Editor Work with simple and intuitive navigation menus in the photo like scan view Model pipe runs from scan data e. g. for use in MEP applications. for continuous, axially aligned wall floor plans, even over several floors. Users define the tolerances that are to be observed. Additional functions include the automatic creation of deformed floor slabs based on floor irregularity as well as the creation of a ground surface (topo- surface). Functions for modeling pipe runs from scan data enhance Revits abilities for capturing as-builts for use in MEP applications. Work with laser scanner data directly in the family editor PointSense enables the use of 3D laser scanner data directly in the Revit® family editor. With three possible options for displaying the data; point cloud regions, planar scan views or true ortho-photos make creating of object specific families for doors, windows, columns or pipe accessories simple and easy. Retain the overview, guaranteed A section manager allows cropping point clouds inside Revit, independent from the current view and provides a better orientation due hierarchical organized point cloud sections. The photo like planar scan view of the data has improved recognition of details even while working with large point clouds projects. This makes orientation easier, increases the precision of your processing and allow users to easil
