This method provides a direct entry point to get access to an object from the ReCap SDK (ReCapWrapper.RCProject) from Revit. This object represents the point cloud from the RC file path stored in PointCloudType. The ReCap assembly AdskRcManaged.dll will need to be included into code using this method.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 23.0.0.0 (23.1.0.0)
Since: 2022

Syntax

C#
public RCProject GetReCapProject()
Visual Basic
Public Function GetReCapProject As RCProject
Visual C++
public:
RCProject^ GetReCapProject()

Remarks

The coordinate system in RCProject is defined by Point Cloud. Please refer to ReCap SDK document for RCProject::getCoordinateSystem. If you need points converted to the modeling coordinate system in Revit, you can obtain the transformation matrix from PointCloudInstance GetTransform()()()().

Examples

CopyC#
private Autodesk.RealityComputing.Managed.RCProject GetRCProject(Document doc)
{
   PointCloudType type = PointCloudType.Create(doc, "rcs", "c:\\32_cafeteria.rcs");
   // Get RCProject, you need to include AdskRcManaged.dll
   Autodesk.RealityComputing.Managed.RCProject proj = type.GetReCapProject();
   // You can get access to functions from ReCap SDK, for example get total point number of ReCap project
   UInt64 numOfPoints = proj.GetNumberOfPoints();
   return type.GetReCapProject();
}
CopyVB.NET
Private Function GetRCProject(ByVal doc As Document) As Autodesk.RealityComputing.Managed.RCProject
    Dim type As PointCloudType = PointCloudType.Create(doc, "rcs", "c:\32_cafeteria.rcs")
    ' Get RCProject, you need to include AdskRcManaged.dll
    Dim proj As Autodesk.RealityComputing.Managed.RCProject = type.GetReCapProject()
    ' You can get access to functions from ReCap SDK, for example get total point number of ReCap project
    Dim numOfPoints As ULong = proj.GetNumberOfPoints()
    Return type.GetReCapProject()
End Function

Exceptions

ExceptionCondition
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions..::..FileAccessException The file or PointCloudEngine is not ReCap based.
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions..::..InvalidOperationException Exception happens when ReCap loading the project.
