I have been on contract with some projects in Arizona laser scanning various sites and creating DTM&#39;s/ 3D Models of the sites from point clouds. This is an extensive worken-USTelligent Community 12https://communities.bentley.com/thread/239246?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 31 Mar 2013 12:30:39 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:785ee8b2-e5c2-4c66-9e64-b9c3fc68bdd9Paul Tice<p>Thanks for the response - Unfortunately, my client specifically uses ArchiCAD and has not made the leap to Bentley products. I thought they could use Pointools viewer to view the point clouds superimposed with their model but alas, Pointools doesn&#39;t accept IFC for importing.
