Use Cases

The CloudWorx Viewer for Revit is the ultimate tool for AEC project collaboration. Paired with streaming data from Reality Cloud Studio, powered by HXDR, it makes updating project stakeholders, managing work projects, and sharing data with distributed, complex teams easier than ever. Simply install the free plugin and stream your scanning data quickly and efficiently into Revit without the need for large local files. Visually inspect the cloud vs. existing models, clip out areas of interest, or isolate classification categories relevant to your project.

Here are several use cases that demonstrate the CloudWorx Viewer functionality:

• The viewer’s classification tool used to isolate the points representing the steel structure of a building.

• The viewer’s fencing tool used to isolate a relevant section of the point cloud.

Deprecated Features

Leica Geosystems strives to provide support for the widest array of operating systems and file formats, considering current technologies and support from third-party partners.

With each release, we review our list of currently supported formats and operating systems in line with industry trends and announce product terminations.

Leica Geosystems may add or terminate support for a file format during any release. Obsolete operating systems will be supported for six months after their announced termination or the next major software release, whichever comes first. Server products will be supported in alignment with Leica’s Client License Manager (CLM) supported servers to guard users against incompatibility.
