The tolerances on a project are very tight and the dimensions need to be within a 16th of an inch accuracy if at all possible. What is the best way to model walls using point cloud data?

&lt;p&gt;Sorry for the delay, I was out of the office. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can check the video at this location : &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xhd42nrHIEY"&gt;www.youtube.com/watch&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also does it fail with both the slab and prism mode? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you can provide a dataset I would be glad to check what is going on.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks, &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Do you know if there is a screen movie of this function. Every time I try ti use it, I get the message Plane extraction failed (I&amp;#39;am very sure that I only select the right pointclouds).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks in advance, &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Louis&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: What is the best way to model concrete walls with point clouds?</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/283462?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sun, 04 May 2014 14:16:39 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:516efd0f-e4cd-4762-a51b-f4bd3107a91c</guid><dc:creator>Mathieu St-pierre</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi, &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Another alternative to the solution described by Karsten is to use the tool called Fit Plane (Point cloud manager`s menu-&amp;gt;Edit-&amp;gt;Fit Plane) in Bentley Descartes. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To use the tool you simply needs to select the points of the point cloud representing the wall to model. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that it is very important to select only the points modelling the wall and not any other points to ensure the highest precision possible.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks, &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mathieu&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: What is the best way to model concrete walls with point clouds?</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/283417?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sat, 03 May 2014 10:39:48 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:d41bf2aa-872d-4d48-b6cf-7469fdf982c9</guid><dc:creator>Karsten Pudziow</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I would say, if your scan look better than my one, the best solution is to create a section clip and try to digitize the wall by the points representing the wall.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Use Accudraw sticky Z to make sure all wallvertices are on the same Z-high.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At least this is what I&amp;#39;ll show in Birmingham at the Learning Conference ;-) &amp;nbsp;Hopefully I&amp;#39;m right&lt;/p&gt;
