The plug-in advantage

Autodesk Revit built-in support for point clouds, while available, is limited
and insufficient for even many of your basic point cloud workflows. Leica
CloudWorx plug-in users benefit from additional tools and higher efficiency of
a more productive point cloud enabled BIM modelling solution. CloudWorx for
Revit users gain the benefit of easier access to the point cloud data, a user
can open a Cyclone or JetStream project directly in Revit - no file format
conversions. Users also find a critical set of tools for efficiently cropping the
cloud, and controlling the display parameters along with the ability to use
unlimited sized point clouds thanks to Leica JetStream Technology.

Point cloud display control

To focus on particular areas of interest, easy-to-use tools define specific
areas of 3D point clouds to display. For improved visualisation of point
clouds, segments of point clouds can be selectively hidden using fences,
slices or user-defined cutplanes.

The BIM modeling advantage

Tools to fit patches/workplanes directly from the point cloud or set up work
planes facilitate the BIM-from-pointclouds process. Additional tools provide
for accurate fitting of steel, flanges, pipes and 2D lines or placement of walls,
floors, structural members, doors, windows, mechanical equipment, etc.
CloudWorx for Revit allows direct import of COE models from Cyclone, and/or
the export of some Revit models to COE facilitate total interoperabiity.

BIM for retrofit projects

Engineers, Contractors, Architects and Designers can use CloudWorx for
retrofit design projects to review proposed designs for conflicts with as-built
existing conditions to stop critical errors in their tracks before they slow or
halt a project. The unparalleled detail provided by point clouds allows users to
conceive, design, clash detect, visualise and dynamically interact in the
context of real world conditions via the pointcloud. Users experience a virtual
site presence within Revit.
All new point cloud clash/anti-clash manager enables the user to perform
Leica CloudWorx for Revit provides critical modeling tools required to

efficently and accurately create a BIM model of an existing structure.
