RealityConnect™ for Revit Release
Improve and streamline design process workflows with Prevu3D’s RealityConnect for Revit.
Reverse engineering CAD models from point clouds and meshes in Revit is complex and time-consuming. Point clouds make isolating specific assets challenging, and Revit struggles with large meshes and long loading times for extensive datasets. Our plugin allows users to:
- Load full point cloud scans at a low resolution for an overview and then clip specific areas for a higher resolution.
- Maintain the integrity of textures and materials when importing meshes.
- Save time by isolating assets with RealityAssets, loading only trimmed point cloud and mesh components from Prevu3D into Revit.
- Sync new Revit elements back to Prevu3D as CAD assets.
- Utilize meshed assets as visual references and context for specific parts of your project.
