PCCTools for Revit 0.31.4 – Professional Point Cloud Cropping and Management Tools for Autodesk Revit

PCCTools for Revit 0.31.4 is a specialized productivity add-in that extends Autodesk Revit’s native point cloud capabilities with advanced cropping, sectioning, and management tools . The software enables users to work with multiple point clouds in a single project, switching visibility instantly between them for better control and performance .

The toolset includes precision cropping options (circular, rectangular, polygonal, spherical, and buffer zones), dynamic sectioning capabilities, and cloud locking features to prevent accidental movement . PCCTools allows users to crop point clouds even when they are locked, providing flexibility in data management .

The 0.31.4 version represents the latest release of this specialized point cloud management solution for Revit users who require efficient handling of laser scanning data.

Primary Users

PCCTools for Revit 0.31.4 is designed for architects, structural engineers, surveyors, and BIM professionals who work with point cloud data within Autodesk Revit. It serves professionals who:
