Hilfe und Support

Qbitec for Revit is a plugin for Autodesk Revit that integrates point cloud data and 360° images from a wide range of manufacturers and from various data sources (cloud, local network, local hard disk) directly into Revit. 

This makes it possible to work with reality capture data of any size in Revit smoothly and with unprecedented visual quality.

Revit natively supports the processing of point clouds through its Recap integration, which has some severe disadvantages.

• Scalability: Revit can process point clouds with a few million points before memory consumption spikes and performance drops. Our plugin makes it possible to work with point clouds of any size, up to several billion points. This makes pre-processing steps such as thinning or chinking unnecessary.
• Performance: The native support for point clouds in Revit requires data to be copied locally to guarantee interactive performance. This does not only require significantly more resources but increases chances of errors. Qbitec for Revit enables high-performance streaming directly from the company network.
• Visual quality: Revit shows point clouds in a very primitive way, for example closed surfaces are often shown as a see-through grid. Our visualization method creates visually closed surfaces, which makes working with the data much more convenient.
• Customized visualizations: Qbitec for Revit introduces a number of new visualization modes, such as tomographic visualization. This makes features such as walls directly visible without any data filtering.
• Working with cloud data: Qbitec for Revit has a direct connection to a growing number of cloud providers, e.g. NavVis IVION. Point cloud data can be streamed directly from NavVis IVION without having to cache the data locally.

Yes, the point clouds are processed within Revit in such a way that they are available to most third-party plug-ins for point cloud processing. Analysis and data evaluation works as usual - only with significantly larger data.

Our plugin focusses on a single challenge: the interaction with point clouds. At the moment, automatic extraction is not part of the solution. By connecting the point clouds to many third-party plugins for data analysis, you can continue to use your usual plugins.

Yes. The plugin handles a smaller amount of point clouds very well. The software has been optimized in this sense because several point clouds are created naturally in NavVis, for example. 
But there is an increased memory requirement and possibly also performance drops if many point clouds are inserted.
Performance can be significantly increased - despite the huge number of points - if all points were saved in a single point cloud.
 
It's a bit like several people talking at the same time. Even if they are talking about the same topic or even the same thing, understanding is much more difficult than if only one person is speaking.

Qbitec for Revit should run smoothly on all mid-range computers. For converting very large point clouds, a fast, large local or USB SSD drive is recommended. In general, the hardware requirements are significantly lower than they would be for native point cloud support.

To leverage reverse tax charge, we focus exclusively on business customers. As a start-up, it would otherwise not be possible for us to trade internationally.

In this case, please contact us directly.

No, a license can only be assigned to one device at a time. However, you can remove the license from one device at any time and assign it to another - directly via the Revit plugin: Click on the gear wheel (Config/License) and “Deactivate”. Then enter your email and password on the other computer). Alternatively, you may go via the license portal. The company ID requested there is QBITEC. For example, if you do not have access to the last computer you used, you can withdraw the license via the license portal and use it on another computer.

First remove the license from the current hardware (in the plugin: click on the gear wheel (Config/License) and “Deactivate”) and then assign the new access data via the LicenseSpring portal. The company ID requested there is QBITEC.
