I test the new Icad feature to draw plans with point cloud (house.rcp) with this tutorial :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EBUIs9bJps
But when I import/attach this points cloud I don't see the cloud even with my Nvidia Asus GTX1080TI in Realistic style. Why please?

As far as we can track, there's no rcp file at the points cloud file sample.
We've run a quick test and we can import .rcp files as underlays.

Hi Patrick,
Try importing the *.rcs in the sub-folder instead.
It works on my PC with Intel Graphics UHD 630.

Is there a sample point cloud with Icad 13.1?

Ah yes thks Quan, indeed with .rcs that's work!

With the video there are one .rpc file with a support folder with .rps files
I understood to place the .rpc file in the support folder and now that's work! EXPLANATIONS: .rcp is a Project file and .rcs is a Source file so
The two or several files must be in the same folder to link them

Steve look at the info menu of the video there are a dropbox download link ! BUT when you have unzipped the .rcp, place the Stewart_House.rcp file in the support folder.
Then open IntelliCAD and Insert/attach the Stewart_House.rcp file as underlay.

I can use point cloud file but there are no tools to make cut or section in IntelliCAD now.....Sniff!
EDIT: Sorry! section plan from 3D rubban work ! Very good! I choosen the orthographic cut with Top option and because the zero Z was on 2.2 meter/ground high I obtain this section !

I choosen the wire style for the windows and of'course OpenGL ES mode. It's the best because the display lag sometime.
You must have a very recent graphiccard !

Pat,
Which support folder did you use?
I'm unable to see the loaded file, as you in post #1

Below the title of the video. Download the file and unzip it please.

Hi Pat,

I have downloaded the zip.
Where did you put the contents of the zip on your PC?

Where you want it's not important. I archiv it in my 3D Objects folder in "3DPointCloud" directory.
But you can unzip it near your IntelliCAD file. Attach a Point Cloud is the same as Import an image.

I put it into my main customisation folders, file did not appear on screen.
Subsequent Zoom E came back as invalid command????

I tried several times, same result!!!

But Steve,
It's easy.
Place the Stewart_House RCP.zip in a documents folder.
unzip it
You obtain : Stewart_House Support folder + Stewart_House.rcp file
Place this Stewart_House.rcp file in the Stewart_House Support folder
Open IntelliCAD create a new file and save it near your . Stewart_House Support folder
In the menu "Import" go to "Attach a point cloud" and go to your . Stewart_House Support folder and choose the Stewart_House.rcp.
Wait some minutes to load the big file and Voilà!

Choose the Opengl GE mode and Wire style to the 3D windows and place the view in axonometry to see the whole object !

Morning Pat,
This is the key:
Place this Stewart_House.rcp file in the Stewart_House Support folder.

I have opened a number of the RCS files, then thought.... put the RCP file into the House folder....It worked..
