POINTCLOUDSCAN2BIM command
Detects floors and rooms in a point cloud, then creates solids for detected rooms.

Method
The command combines the POINTCLOUDDETECTFLOORS, POINTCLOUDDETECTROOMS, and POINTCLOUDFITROOMS commands in one step.
The command analyzes point clouds to detect floors and rooms. Then, it creates solids corresponding to detected rooms and gives the option to run the BIMINVERTSPACES command.
For structured point cloud data, normal vectors are calculated during point cloud preprocessing. In case a point cloud has been preprocessed on an older BricsCAD® version where normals have not yet been calculated, use the POINTCLOUDNORMALS command first.
Note: Normal vectors calculation requires a point cloud processed in HSPC format. Both POINTCLOUDHSPC and POINTCLOUDNORMALS system variable need to be set to On (On by default).
For unstructured point cloud data, normal vectors information is imported if present and used by the command or calculated if not present.
Note:
- You can continue working during the background processing.
- The point cloud Scan to BIM semi-automatic workflow is described in the Point cloud Scan to BIM workflow article.
Options within the command

- Selection
- Allows you to specify the point cloud area to be analyzed.
- Edit
- Exits the command to let you edit the room solids.
- Biminvertspaces
- Runs the BIMINVERTSPACES command.
