Leica CloudWorx 2025.2 is a powerful plug-in software that seamlessly integrates massive 3D point cloud data from Leica laser scanners directly into popular CAD and BIM applications like Autodesk AutoCAD, Revit, Civil 3D, and Bentley MicroStation. It allows users to visualize, query, measure, and model directly on top of high-resolution point clouds without leaving their familiar design software. This bridges the gap between as-built reality (captured via scanning) and the design process, enabling accurate renovations, retrofits, clash detection, and as-built modeling within a single workflow.
It is the preferred tool for turning point clouds into actionable design intelligence inside the industry-standard platforms where the actual design work happens.
Primary Users: CAD Draftsmen, Designers, Civil Engineers, Plant Designers, and BIM Modelers who need to work directly with 3D laser scan point cloud data within their native CAD environment (AutoCAD, Revit, MicroStation, etc.).
CloudWorx transforms a CAD application into a high-performance point cloud workbench.
High-Performance Point Cloud Engine:
Streaming Technology: Efficiently loads and navigates multi-billion-point projects by streaming only the data needed for the current view, without crashing the CAD host.
Intelligent Caching: Maintains smooth performance when panning, zooming, and orbiting around dense data.
Direct Modeling & Extraction Tools:
Snap to Point Cloud: Use standard CAD drawing commands (line, polyline, circle) and snap directly to individual points in the cloud for tracing and extraction.
Point Cloud Sections: Create live, dynamic cross-sections through the cloud to see internal details, which update in real-time as the section plane is moved.
Surface & Plane Fitting: Automatically fit CAD entities (3D faces, cylinders, planes) to point cloud data.
Measurement & Analysis:
Direct Measurement: Measure distances, angles, radii, and areas directly on the point cloud using CAD-native or enhanced CloudWorx tools.
Compare to Design: Visually compare the point cloud (as-built) against the CAD design model to highlight deviations and clashes.
Point Cloud Management:
Organize by Scan World: Manage multiple registered scan positions, control their visibility, and colorize by intensity or RGB.
Filtering & Segmentation: Isolate points by range, region, or classification (if pre-classified in Cyclone) to reduce clutter.
Enhanced Performance: Optimized for the latest versions of host CAD software (AutoCAD 2025, Revit 2025, etc.).
Improved User Interface: Smoother integration with the host CAD ribbon and property panels.
Advanced Data Handling: Support for larger datasets and newer point cloud formats from Leica’s latest scanners (BLK, RTC series).
Streamlined Workflow with HxDR: Tighter integration with the Hexagon Reality Cloud (HxDR) for directly streaming cloud-hosted projects into CAD.
Requirements are dictated by the host CAD/BIM application and are substantial for handling point clouds.
Minimum System Requirements (in addition to host CAD reqs):
Windows 10/11 (64-bit) Pro, a multi-core Intel i7/AMD Ryzen 7 processor, 16 GB RAM (32+ GB essential for Revit/large clouds), a professional NVIDIA Quadro or AMD Radeon Pro graphics card with 8 GB+ dedicated VRAM (critical), fast SSD storage (point cloud data should be on SSD), and a high-resolution display.
Recommended Professional Workstation:
Windows 10/11 Pro for Workstations, Intel Xeon W-series or Core i9/AMD Threadripper Pro CPU, 64-128 GB RAM, high-end NVIDIA RTX A4500/A5500 or GeForce RTX 4080/4090 with 12-24 GB VRAM, multiple NVMe SSDs, and dual 4K monitors.
