Leica CloudWorx
Work with large point clouds directly inside your chosen CAD system.
Overview
Leica CloudWorx is a family of plugins that provide a direct link between Leica Cyclone's point cloud data and popular CAD/BIM systems. This allows users to visualize, reference, and model from large point clouds within their familiar design environment, without needing to import the entire dataset, which improves performance and workflow efficiency.
✨ Key Features
- Directly use point cloud data inside CAD/BIM software
- High-performance point cloud rendering
- Measurement and modeling tools (e.g., 'Fit Section', 'Fit Pipe')
- Clash detection against point clouds
- Supports Leica's Hyper-pod data structure for fast loading
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Seamless and high-performance connection to the Leica Cyclone ecosystem.
- Broad support for many different high-end CAD platforms.
- Robust and reliable performance with very large datasets.
Unique Value: Brings the power and performance of the Leica Cyclone engine directly into the user's preferred CAD environment, enabling an efficient and accurate Scan-to-BIM workflow.
🎯 Use Cases (4)
✅ Best For
- Modeling as-built conditions in Revit by directly referencing a Cyclone point cloud project.
- Performing a clash detection in Navisworks between a new design model and the as-built point cloud.
💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- Users not working within one of the supported CAD/BIM platforms.
- Initial point cloud registration (requires Leica Cyclone).
🏆 Alternatives
Offers a more stable and performant experience with large Leica datasets compared to native CAD importers or other third-party plugins.
