Create a Point Cropbox
- Open a non-template 3D view.
- Run Point Cropbox and pick toward a visible cloud surface.
- PCCTools follows the view ray and resolves the first dense visible scan cluster inside the current section box.
- A cube is created using the configured size and selected for grip editing.

Understand point selection
Revit does not expose a native point-cloud snap through its API. PCCTools reconstructs the pick ray and searches for dense points near it. Crop away foreground walls when you need to reach a deeper surface.
Crop Around Object
- Open a 3D view and run Crop Around Object.
- Select the Revit element.
- PCCTools clears Quick Crops, calculates the object's 3D geometry and adds the configured buffer.
- For pipes, ducts, beams and other curve-based objects, the box follows the object axis.
- Edit the selected box with Revit grips.
Useful settings
Point Cropbox size defaults to 0.50 m. Crop Around Object buffer defaults to 0.20 m. Both values are stored inside the current RVT model.
