The Ultimate Integration for Point Cloud Workflows in Revit
Unlock the Power of Your Point Clouds with Point Share Plus and Qbitec for Revit
You've encountered the all-too-common challenge of handling large point clouds in Autodesk® Revit®. You’re not alone. The friction of massive file sizes, slow processing, and disconnected data can be a major roadblock to efficient Scan-to-BIM workflows.
The integration between Point Share Plus (PSP) and the Qbitec for Revit (Q4R) plugin is the answer you've been looking for. As part of a semi-closed beta, this solution allows you to stream massive point clouds directly into Revit, providing a smooth, fast, and collaborative experience.
This isn't just about speed; it's about establishing a single source of truth for your project data.
How to Get Started: A Simple Access Guide
Access to the Q4R plugin is available to Point Share Plus account holders. If you're ready to transform your workflow, follow these simple steps:
- Create or Login to your Point Share Plus Account: This is your gateway to the PSP Q4R beta and your centralised hub for point cloud data.
- Download the Q4R Plugin: From your Point Share Plus account dashboard, you will find the "Download & Activate" button to get the plugin.
- Install the Plugin: A quick and easy installation to set up the connection.
- Upload Point Cloud to PSP: Securely upload your point cloud data to the cloud, making it accessible from anywhere.
- In Revit, Connect Q4R to PSP: Establish the link between your Revit project and your PSP point cloud data.
- Create a New Project: Start a new Revit project or open an existing one.
- Import Point Cloud: Select and stream your point cloud data directly from PSP into your Revit model.
- Start Modelling: Begin modelling with precision and confidence, using the live point cloud as your reference.
Note: You must have a licensed version of Revit installed to use the plugin.
Benefits of Streaming from Point Share Plus into Revit
- Single Source of Truth: Your entire team works from the exact same, up-to-date point cloud data. This eliminates version control headaches and ensures data consistency across all stakeholders.
- Improved Performance and Efficiency: By streaming data on demand, you avoid bogging down your local machine. This allows you to work with even the largest point clouds without a loss of performance or a need for specialized hardware.
- Enhanced Collaboration: Teams can access and model from the shared, central point cloud, regardless of their location. This streamlines coordination, reduces clashes, and improves the overall BIM process.

Benefits of Working with Point Clouds in Revit
- Accurate Reality Capture: Use point clouds to create a highly accurate digital twin of a building or site, providing a true-to-life foundation for your design.
- Enhanced Design & Modelling: With a precise point cloud as a reference, you can model with greater accuracy and confidence, reducing the risk of errors and rework.
- Improved Collaboration & Coordination: The combination of PSP and Q4R facilitates seamless collaboration. Architects, engineers, and contractors can all work from the same point cloud data, leading to better coordination and fewer clashes.
- Leverage BIM for Full Project Lifecycle: Point clouds are a critical part of the BIM process. They can be used for everything from existing conditions modelling to construction verification and facilities management. Our integration ensures this data is a core part of your BIM workflow.
