Hi i am using Autodesk Revit 2013 (the student version). I have downloaded the Leica CloudWorx for Revit however when i am trying to open the Autodesk Revit a command appears that inform me that the system failed to load license. Could you tell me how to fix the problem.

Thanks a lot

That's because you need to buy the licence file (or get a demo) from Leica. If you have it then it needs to be added to the license file in your Program Files/Cyclone folder.

If you open Cyclone and click the display licenses button and post a screen shot we can see what licenses are available.

You will need to contact your local HDS Support team and request a demo license.

Actually i have converted the point cloud data from leica cyclone in order to import it in Revit how ever i can not import it in Revit. Do you know in which format i have to convert it in order to import it in Revit ?

The native file format for Revit is PCG.

You can import and index other file types to create a PCG - PTS, FLS etc.

If you go to the insert tab in Revit and select point cloud you can then see which RAW formats are accepted.

Try Cloudworx for Revit and you will see the difference. It eliminates an export step (It opens IMP files directly without conversion to PTS and then to PCG) and the general performance of the cloud and the tools are much better.

Ask your local rep for a trial license, they normally offer 14-30 days.

Whilst the implementation form the large cad vendors of native point cloud use is always improving, it isn't quite up to the useability and performance of Cloudworx...... yet.

I suspect this will change in 2013, and then we can all have fun debating if it is worth the hassle to use point clouds natively due to the export then import/index steps we have to do.
