Examples

The following example shows how to use the PointCloudDataServices class to retrieve point cloud data in Trimble Connect projects and attach it to a model.

Copy

using System.Threading;
using Tekla.Structures.Model;

public class Example
{
    public async void Example1()
    {
        var projects = await PointCloudDataServices.GetProjectsWithPointCloudsAsync();
        var pointClouds = projects.First().PointClouds;
        var url = await PointCloudDataServices.GetPointCloudUrlAsync(projects.First(), pointClouds.First());

        PointCloud pointCloud = new PointCloud
        {
            Name = pointClouds.First().Name,
            Url = url,
            TcProjectId = projects.First().Id,
            TcPointCloudGuid = pointClouds.First().Id,
            LocationBy = Guid.Empty,
            UseAutoCreatedBasePoint = true,
            Scale = 1.0
        };

        pointCloud.Attach();
    }
}
