Method

The command searches for enclosed spaces in a point cloud that could form rooms and classifies them under different rooms.

The command can detect rooms for all the floors listed in the Point Cloud Manager panel or for one floor with the specified Id.

Note: The POINTCLOUDDETECTROOMS command is used as a step in the point cloud Scan to BIM workflow (see the article Point cloud Scan to BIM workflow).

The detected rooms are listed in the Point Cloud Manager panel under Buildings.

Access different options from the Point Cloud Manager panel's context menus. Select items listed in the panel and right-click the selection:

Room
Edit
Allows you to edit the contour of the selected room.

Enables the Top view and lets you reposition the vertices of the closed polyline.

To exit the editing mode, right-click the room item again and select Accept or Decline.

Rename
Allows you to type in a new room name.
Note:
  • This option can also be accessed by double-clicking a selected room's name.
  • The room keeps the number assigned during the detection process.
Multiple rooms
Merge rooms
The points corresponding to the selected rooms are classified under a single room.
Floor
Add Room
Allows you to manually add a new room by selecting a point cloud area.

Enables the Top view and lets you define a closed polyline.

Note:
  • The Toggle Visibility option, available in each item's context menu, allows you to switch On/Off the visibility of the selected item.
  • Where available, the Delete option deletes the selected item/items from the list and removes the specific classification of the corresponding points.
Note: Deleting the Buildings category from the Point Cloud Manager panel removes all building-related information (building, floor, room) for the items listed in this category.
