Work Smarter with As-Built: Save Geometry as a Family
About this lesson
In this tutorial, we walk through how to convert point cloud data into a reusable Revit family using As-Built for Revit’s Save as Family tool. Using a scanned transformer as the example, we cover two practical workflows for extracting geometry from the point cloud: Creating model lines at defined levels Using reference planes with the Fit Polygon tool for higher-accuracy fitting You’ll learn: The difference between level-based and reference plane-based work planes Why Fit Polygon requires a reference plane How contour smoothing impacts geometry quality Best practices for drawing arcs vs. circles before exporting to a family How to properly define the base reference level The correct workflow for transforming model lines relative to a work plane How to save as an Electrical Equipment family and optionally export as an RFA This session is ideal for anyone looking to move from scan data to structured, reusable BIM content. If you're working with existing conditions and want cleaner, more efficient family creation directly from reality capture data, this workflow will help you get there.
