The Bottom Line

Understand how to create a point cloud. Point clouds are created with laser-scanning
equipment typically by a surveyor or other LiDAR provider. Understanding the processes
behind creating point clouds is critical to being able to plan a scan for your project.
Master It What are the two types of LiDAR scanners and how do they differ?
Plan for a scan. Planning a point cloud scan is an important part of the process. This will
help ensure that you collect all the information that you need inside the building and don’t
have to repeat the scan because something was overlooked.
Master It What are the key elements to planning a LiDAR scan?
Use a point cloud in a project. Once you import the point cloud into Revit, you can begin
modeling. Understanding how to use that data in the model will keep your project moving
efficiently and your frustration at a minimum.
Master It List some of the ways you can optimize point cloud performance in Revit.
