Supporting the Automatic Extraction of HBIM Elements from Point Clouds

The purpose of this paper is just detailing a state-of-the-art procedure for the automatic recognition of specific 3D shapes from point clouds of immovable heritage assets supported on a tailored tool using PLY, PTX and PTS formats as input files. To make this tool functional and widely used, it is currently developed as a plug-in for the well-known and representative REVIT BIM software package.
