\n DEFINITION\n <\/p>\n\n \n \n\n \n

\n What is “point cloud to Archicad”?\n <\/p>\n\n

\n “Point cloud to Archicad” describes the process of converting raw 3D \n laser scan data (a point cloud) into a native BIM model built directly \n in Graphisoft Archicad. The result is a fully editable .pln or .pla \n file \u2014 not an IFC import \u2014 in which every wall, roof plane, column, \n and opening is modeled as an Archicad element. This workflow is the \n preferred approach for architects and heritage conservators who work \n natively in Archicad and need an as-built model they can extend \n without format conversion.\n <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
