Nwd point cloud...how can I bring it to cad?

[m.knutsson714642]

Hi,
I've got a point cloud model (.nwd) that I don't know what to do with... I'm new to Navis Freedom. The point cloud is from a scan of a terrain and a bridge, pretty complex. I wan't to use the terrain in cad. Any suggestions? I have no use playing around with the model in NW...
I have Autocad+Revit 2013, ArchiCAD, Rhino, 3DS... Maybe my MW Freedom is limiting in ways to export in other formats!?
Thanks,
Mats

Did you receive the scan in a non-Navisworks format, such as IMP (Leica), PTS (text), or RCS (ReCap)? Those are the formats used by AutoCAD and third-party plug-ins like Cyclone/CloudWorx (Leica) or AutoCAD (ReCap).

The point cloud engine in all Autodesk products changed with the 2014 release. do you have the original scan files? you may want to try opening the point cloud in ReCap first, and then save it as a RCP file, which can then be brought right into AutoCAD or Revit.
download ReCap Pro from http://www.autodesk.com/products/recap/overview for free on a limited trial basis.
