Issue Description
I have placed a point cloud using the Create and Place method. The 3D looks great but the 2D plan is almost non-existent
Solution
If you’ve imported a point cloud into Archicad but don’t see it on the plan view, here are a few steps to troubleshoot the issue:
1. Check the 3D View
- Point clouds are typically visible in the 3D view by default. Open the 3D window to confirm that the point cloud has been imported and is visible there.
2. Verify the Projected Plane in the Plan View
Point clouds do not automatically appear in the plan view unless they intersect with the plan's cut plane:
- Adjust the View's Floor Plan Cut Plane (FCP) settings via Document > Floor Plan Cut Plane...
AND/OR
- Modify the Show on Stories setting of the point cloud to ensure it intersects with the Cut plane.
