I have spent the last couple of hours researching posts back to 2008 regarding inserting inserting a point cloud into Revit at the correct coordinates. I have two files (DXF and PCG) that are in the same coordinate system. They overlay exactly in AutoCAD. Why I see posts back to 2008 with no resolutions on this same topic? Also explain to me why a file indexed in AutoCAD 2013 is not compatable with Revit 2013.
View 1 RepliesMy application inserts 4 DBText lines and 2 PolyLines into a drawing from another drawing(or Source Database). I created a special layer ("warning") into which these entities are inserted. Then I combined these entities into a group so the user can move it out of the way while they are working.
When the title block data is refreshed, I want to redraw my 4 lines of text and 2 lines at the location last set by the user. I have successfully implemented redrawing the object at the X and Y coordinates last placed by the user by using ent.TransformBy(Matrix3d.Displacement(acVec3d) on each entity at the source and then doing a DBSource.WblockCloneOjbects to put them in the destination drawing at the correct position.
However, if the user rotates the group, I need to make the rotation also. This is where I'm having problems. What is the best way to grab the rotation value(s?) from the existing, user placed group, and then redraw onto the drawing at that rotated value? Is there an easier implementation that the way I am doing it?

how to match up certain points. I have imported 2 point clouds and have tried to use the 'align' tool to specify three points from the source object (cloud) and three points from the destination object (cloud). When doing this, it does not properly align them. The point cloud makes it difficult to select the exact point I would like to align, since there may not be a point at that exact location, but close to it. Does AutoCAD require the points in alignment to match up perfectly or is it capable of doing a best fit?
Also, is AutoCAD capable of creating a solid 3D piece from the point cloud? I would like to take all of my points and make a smooth object.
The coordinates that we can apply in Revit (project/shared) aren't exactly the same to have real world projection coordinates (WGS84)??
If not how can we convert the revit shared coordinates to real world projection coordinates?
First time importing into 2012-have csv file that I imported. Coordinates land in right spot. Local system-No transformations/State Plane zones attached. When I look at them with tracking everything is okay. When I export the points they are the same I imported.
When I list the points they are way off?

How to access the point positions within a Point Cloud using C#? Or is this function not provided in the managed class?
I write a program, this program needs to insert some standard illustrations. I made these standard illustrations into different blocks. And I store these blocks in a dwg file. Everytime I need to insert some illustrations, I just click the mouse on the current drawing, I want the illustration inserted. These means the following points:
(1) Import the blocks to the current drawing, if the blocks have already been imported, then do nothing.
(2) Specify the insert point by clicking the mouse, and I want the block's insert point to coincide with the mouse clicking point.
how to access the positions of every points in pointcloud(.pcg files)?
Isn't it available in ObjectARX.NET 2012?or should I write my own warpper for .NET?
I'm inserting blocks into my drawing and the block has a basepoint and a 0,0,0 point. The CAD guy who usually works with me is off today but he has a keyboard method of switching between the 2 points when inserting the block.
Its a fairly straight forward thing on his keyboard, nothing he has set up but standard in autocad.
I've had a try hitting a few keyboard buttons this morning but can't seem to do it.
I want to add a point after the last point of a polyline. But this point really is the first point and the command insert vertex really insert a new point.So, a solution , reverse the polyline to insert points after the last vertex.
Nobody thought ever to offer a insert_first and add_last commands ?
I have installed SP3 for Max Design. I checked the about box and it says its SP3..The help file says you will find the point cloud command under the Create > Geometry panel. But I see nothing.
How do you get a point cloud in? Have I missed something. I can't open it directly. I can import it, I can reference it and the menu option is missing.
Loading point clouds.When you load the rcs file..I mean, you don't get a message saying it's loading. You don't get a twirling, wait for it, icon.
So then you start zooming in and out. Panning around. Clicking zoom extents.Sometimes you eventually see the point cloud appear. Sometimes you don't. I think I don't when I zoom and pan around too soon.
But I don't know when it's too soon because......NOTHING HAPPENS when you load the file.
I have an excel spreadsheet with a lot of coordinates. I know how to insert a large amount of coordinates as an block in my dwg. But what I want is to connect my Excel to my dwg, so if I change my Excel automatically the blocks in my dwg change.

I have tried importing it as enz but no joy, and also in niether case will it align with my map (have tried using coords and not using coords).
I am trying to trace part of my point cloud, which has been aligned according to a new UCS I set. Drawing on the top down view, a poly line works fine out in the black ether or the model space, however when I attempt to trace over the point cloud it shoots way off in the distance.
My node snapping is turned off of course, but this only happens when I click over a part of the point cloud, as if it was snapping to the cloud and getting confused.
When I turn snapping off completely I can click anywhere I want and I'm fine. This suggests to me that it is a snapping issue, although I was under the assumption that "Node" was the only snap setting that related to point clouds.
AutoCAD 2013 point clouds can have a 3D bounding box displayed, and you can grab the grips to edit the box, x, y and z. It's a nice feature.

I am new to 3DS Max Design 2014.
I am using a dual Xeon machine with 32 GB Ram and a Nvidia Quadro 4000.
I have a 100 point RCP (point cloud) file loaded into my scene. I have successfully set up a camera and a target path (spline) for it to follow through the scene, but when I go to render the production it takes FOREVER to process. For example, it took it 1 hour to process 2 of 700 frames. That's way too long.
I am trying to save $5000 by using Max instead of buying Pointools (which I have used and it does render these cloud animations much faster). I am just not too sure about the gazillion settings, what thye mean, and if they are applicable to point cloud production rendering.
Create an emission and a surface for collision, create 'Spawn on Collision'. So far it works.
Create a second pointcloud with animated ICEtree and enter the pointclouds name in the 'Spawn on Collision' node. The network turns red.
Not only that, the damage can not be undone by reentering 'self' in the 'Spawn on Collision' node. After this, if one unplugs the Bounce off Surface node for example, and tries to plug it back in one gets a Context Mismatch warning.
Is this a bug?Also tried it with 2012.5 Same thing.
