In Revit's "Qbitec" ribbon click "Insert Point Cloud"

You see a list of all your NavVis projects with three options:

• "Show Scans" to see a list of all scans for this project
• "Preview" to open a 3D preview window that shows all scans in an interactive viewer
• "Insert" to insert all point clouds of this project

Be careful when inserting a full project with more than 50 point clouds, as Qbitec for Revit is laid out to handle a small number of big point clouds.

You can insert a single point cloud by clicking "Show Scans" first and choosing an element from the list.

Clicking "Insert" reveals a menu with these options:

• "Center to Center": Place the point cloud center at the project center
• "Origin to Internal Origin": Place the point cloud's origin at the origin of the internal coordinate system
• "By Shared Coordinates": Place the point cloud according to its site or geo coordinate system

By default, the point clouds are assumed to exist in the NavVis Site Coordinate System. If your data is georeferenced, you can check the box "Use Spatial Reference System" to use its georeferences instead.
