Inserting Point Clouds from a Public URL

The Qbitec plugin support to insert Potree 2 point clouds from a public available URL directly into Revit.

Potree 2 point clouds consist of three files:

• metadata.json
• octree.bin
• hierarchy.bin

To insert such a point cloud into Revit go to the Qbitec Ribbon and  click on Insert Point Cloud and then on Public URL.

Then enter the URL of the containing path of the three file e.g. https://qbitec.com/pc 

Finally click on the Insert button. You have the same Insertion Modes available as for other point clouds.

Current limitations

Currently it is not supported to access non-public PoTree URLs which needs some kind of authentication or access token.

We also currently do not support the older  PoTree 1 format.
