Commands

Ribbon/Toolbar Icon Command Command Description

InsertPointCloud

This command starts the convertor. Choose a point cloud and convert it to the streamable Qbitec format. The button "Insert" brings the point cloud into your project. You have the same options as in standard Autodesk® Revit®. If unsure use "Center to center".

SetSurveyCoordinateSystem

Select a Qbitec point cloud. The survey coordinate system (shared coordinate system) will be placed as saved in the point cloud. This moves the origin and rotates the true north.

View Pano

This command will create a special panoramic view and customized navigation. Click on a scanner symbol (sphere) in a Tomo view or another panorama view. This works only if your point cloud contains panorama images.
