Can I import this model into Archicad?

Sefa Yakut — Thu, 27 Jun 2024 10:52:22 GMT

I am working on boutique hotel projects. Is it possible to transfer the 3D data obtained by laser scanning to Archicad and work on it? I don't want to work in 2D. The number of triangles in Blender is very high, so when I transfer this model to Archicad in various formats, it becomes very cramped and I can't even move.

Operating system used: Windows Build 5003

It is possible.

You'll need to do a lot of tries until you find your workflow

In CloudCompare, you will need to save the Point Cloud in E57 or XYZ format to be able to import it into Archicad and convert it into a Library Part.

Before saving it in CloudCompare, you might want to reduce the number of Points to make it easier to handle in Archicad. You would have to use the Subsampling command in CloudCompare.
