A detailed account on how to index raw scanned
data in Revit

• I have written a number of blogs on point cloud
  modeling but have never clearly described the
  indexing process, wherein raw scanned data is
  transformed into feasible file formats, which can
  be leveraged by AEC professionals for developing
  exceptional models. 
• The correct technical term for laser scanned
  information is point cloud data which is
  captured by laser beams when they are directed
  towards a specific direction of a building.

• So before I describe indexing process one thing
  is clear that raw scanned data cannot be linked
  in Revit until and unless it is converted into
  right file formats.
• Process of indexing raw scanned data in Revit
• For indexing raw scanned data users are required
  to use Autodesk ReCap, which helps them in
  converting scanned data into feasible file
  formats that can be read by Autodesk software
  products like Revit.
• When the indexing process starts in Autodesk
  ReCap users are required to adjust point clouds
  by fine tuning the settings. Adjustments can also
  be made to point clouds by changing their
  distance from camera.
• Since, Revit incorporates the automatic mechanism
  for indexing users can index raw scanned data
  directly into it.

• That means if a raw format point cloud file is
  inserted by modelers into their project Revit
  automatically performs indexing for it.
• So, for indexing raw scanned data, users have to
  click Insert tab, from where they can go to Link
  panel and finally select Point Cloud.
• After which they have to select the raw point
  cloud file from the folder where it is saved.

• So when a raw point cloud file is selected by
  Revit users, indexer application automatically
  applies to it which converts it into .rcp and
  .rcs files.
• If in case users opt for indexing just one scan
  file, it results into the production of a single
  .rcp and .rcs file.
• On the other hand if multiple scan files are
  indexed by Revit users the outcome results into
  numerous .rcs files along with a single .rcp
  file.
• So if the above mentioned procedure is
  effectively implemented by Revit users they can
  successfully index raw scanned data.
