A point cloud rendering of a building and its revit model counterpart. The points are used by the shape modification tools to change the element geometry. Point clouds are great but they can slow down your revit session especially if you re navigating in 3d and your point cloud is quite large. Roof boundaries will need some manual adjustment.

Image courtesy of imaginit point clouds are the product of 3d laser scanning. You can use the add point tool to add singular points to the element geometry. The elevation edit box displays on the options bar with a relative check box next to it. Use a section box to zero in on the area you re working on.
