Problem with Bimmtool for point cloud display resolution.

Arketech13

Bimm Tool version : 28.02.R01 "LITE"

Importing from a Leica LGSX file.

 

We are having a problem with the display resolution of the point clouds.

Even when setting all the sliders to maximum with a single imported station, the cloud remains very light (see attachment).

 

Example with a single station and all options set to maximum, and the view of the same station in our LEICA Register 360 software.

 

I know that the 2.5.10 resolution is reserved for paid licenses, but the 25 resolution should be more detailed than that when you look at Aruzhan Ilaikova's article on the forum: " Improved BIMmTool for better point cloud handling "

 

We also have a file called ‘lgsx_logging.txt’ that is created during import with errors in it:

How to fix missing DLLs?

Unfortunately, the free version of BIMmTool is absolutely unusable for any serious work. The 25mm point density is really useless. A reasonably usable limit for working with buildings is 10-15mm. This plugin also displayed unwanted dialog boxes with a problem logging into the Bimmtool account every time I started Archicad ( Maybe it was just a bug in version specific version, but it behaved agresive like a "malware" in my case.). After trying it I uninstalled it.

 

I hope that Graphisoft will bring better features for working with point clouds natively in AC and will not provide more support for clunky third-party plugins at the absurd price of a usable pro version. I think this is not a solution that the community would appreciate (Please correct me if there is a bimmtool fan here?).

I wouldn't have gone that far, but yes, I have those issues too.
And I agree with you that in 2025, it's not normal for a programme like Archciad, which claims to be the best, not to have this feature built in.
It's great to add AI, but we'd like what already exists to be 100% functional and usable.
