Hi everyone,
I’m trying to work with point cloud data in Rhino and I have an Autodesk Recap (.rcp) file that I’d like to import. Does anyone know if it’s possible to import .rcp files directly into Rhino, or if there’s a recommended workflow or plugin to do this?
Additionally, once the point cloud is in Rhino, I’m interested in converting it into a usable 3D model or mesh. What would be the best approach or tools for that process?
Any advice or experiences would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

That is a proprietary autodesk format.
Note that Revit didn’t like that particular file…
exporting to a pts is pretty straight forward..

Once in revit you can use Rhino.Inside - Revit Query Cloud Points component

I tried, but I can`t convert this points in a model, do you know how I can do that?

what is the error on the component say?
All the recommendations provided by the pinned Grasshopper post apply to Rhino.Inside.Revit as well.
The addition of multiple versions of Rhino/Grasshopper along with supporting these in Revit 2019-2024 require users to provide a little more info so that you can help us help you.
We understand that even simple workflows can be complex for beginners (be it in Rhino/GH, Revit or both) and will continue to work on documentation and workflow guides as things progress.
Thanks to everyone who hel…

It’s only the color that I have to select components in grasshopper, no an error
