import laz or las point clouds to revit


Hi is anybody knows how to convert laz files to rcp or rcs ?

what i need is to import a laz file into Revit and my goal is to put the model into a forge viewer.


Solution

  • The LAZ file is the compressed flavour of a LAS point cloud.

    You can uncompress it using standard compression and decompression libraries.

    Once uncompressed, you have a Log ASCII Standard or LAS file, used in geophysical logging.

    You can read the contents of that yourself, e.g., using this open source Python LAS reader.

    Here is another open source LAS reader package.

    The file format is documented on the Canadian Well Logging Society web page.

    For further suggestions, please check out the Civil 3D discussion forum thread on the LAZ LiDAR file format.

    I hope this helps.

    Cheers, Jeremy.
