Graebert outlines the role of point cloud tools in BricsCAD and how point cloud data integrates into CAD and BIM workflows. The lesson explains necessary preparation steps before modeling, including scan registration, alignment, noise removal, and cleanup, and highlights how external applications can preprocess raw scans. Supported point cloud formats are reviewed alongside differences in imported metadata such as classifications and attributes. Practical guidance is provided for when to prepare data outside BricsCAD versus using built-in tools, helping users establish reliable, clean datasets to accelerate accurate modeling and reduce downstream rework in survey- and BIM-driven projects for efficient project delivery.
