Xrev Transmit

One of our Blog readers Chris P just pointed me to yet another Revit add-in that I did not know about called Xrev Transmit that can be thought of as an eTransmit on steroids. I just checked out their web site and video. It supports Revit 2012 based products and from the little I have seen, I like the user interface, it is clean and consistent. Also love the music loop in the video, it reminds me of Mad Max or Blade Runner

 

 

Some More Point Cloud Info

I wanted to flow up on the point clouds topic with a few more references.

This is an example of getting a point cloud scan, slicing it by level, saving it as an image and then importing it into Revit to use as an underlay. Seams to work well

  

This is a link to an article on point clouds used in building a Revit model.

I still have not found any other products that have add-ins to make point clouds simpler to use in Revit like Scan to BIM. Please send me any other info you may have on the topic. I am now starting to work on a photogrammetry post which is related to point clouds or more specifically reality capture.
