Revit geometry from Point Cloud with Dynamo

Revit
1

Hi to all! I am trying to create a workflow that contributes to the automatization of the Scan-to-BIM process. I have a Point Cloud in recap and I want to create the geometry in Revit, the first that comes to my mind is to do it with Dynamo. I have used Dynamo before but with very simple functions, i have never programmed with Python or such Lenguages and it is the first time I work with a Point Cloud so I am quite lost it would be awesome if any of you can guide me on where to start and what i need to understand to create the workflow.
The geometry created in Revit doesn’t need to be 100% precise.

Thank you in advance for all the suggestions and info :slight_smile:

Hi @maria.zuluagaAX499 ,

It is possible to read and use PointCloud data in Dynamo. However transforming just Points into Revit Geometry is a lot more complex that you would think at first. What kind of Point Cloud do you have and what kind of geometry are you trying to extract from it?

As an example: Let’s say you have a point cloud of a street with a light pole, without going into the coding, how would you even define that those points are a street light (and others are not)?
