Use .rcp or .rcs files for Better Results During Point Cloud Modeling!
According to the experts of Architecture, Engineering and Construction industry, for obtaining better outcomes during point cloud modeling, design and construction professionals should use .rcp or .rcs point cloud files instead of using .pcg point cloud files. If we talk about Autodesk Revit 2014, it is important for users to note that this particular version of Revit largely support .rcp and .rcs point cloud files.
The newly released version of Revit has the inbuilt mechanism which can help design and construction professionals in successfully indexing point cloud data which is in raw format.
Significance of .rcp and .rcs point cloud files:
- If we compare .rcp or .rcs point cloud files with .pcg files, it is absolutely true that users will get better results from .rcp files.
- If design and construction professionals link .rcp or .rcs point cloud files during point cloud modeling, they can effectively see all the intricate information about the as-built building.
- Through .rcp or .rcs point cloud files, users can view the point clouds in a better way.
- The visibility of point clouds can be easily controlled or managed by Revit users with the effective use of Visibility/Graphics Overrides dialog.
- Design and construction professionals can easily control the color mode of point clouds again by using Visibility/Graphics Overrides dialog.
- In Revit it’s quite easy to display point clouds in different modeling views.
- Point clouds displayed through .rcp and .rcs files can be properly rotated, moved and deleted by Revit users.
- The point clouds actually behave as model objects within different Revit disciplines.
- If appropriate file positioning option is utilized by Revit users then the as-built geometry of the existing building can be effectively optimized by them for developing high-end architectural, structural and MEP models.
The quality of parametric models which are developed through point cloud modeling is largely affected by the visibility of point clouds in Revit.
