Method

The command creates solids corresponding to detected rooms in a point cloud.

The command is supported only for point clouds for which normal vectors information is available.

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. Otherwise it is not calculated and the command is not supported.

Note:
  • The POINTCLOUDFITROOMS command is used as a step in the point cloud Scan to BIM workflow. For more information, see the article Point cloud Scan to BIM workflow.
  • You can continue working during the background processing.

Options within the command

All
Creates solids for all detected rooms.
Id
Creates a solid for the room with the specified Id.
Restrict detection to perpendicular (90°) walls
Select Yes if the rooms have two perpendicular wall directions.
Select No if the rooms have wall directions that are not perpendicular.
Note: The POINTCLOUDFITROOMS command is a Beta feature and it will be further developed. Backward compatibility is not guaranteed.
