    Quick Start Guide

    XSTREAM.CAD for Revit

    Install the Revit plug-in and bring streamed Point Cloud data straight into your BIM workflow.

    This guide will help you get XSTREAM.CAD for Revit installed and running correctly. Please read through before you start — depending on your setup you may need to do something slightly different.

    You must have an active XSTREAM3D subscription to use our software. If you haven't already subscribed, visit downloads here.

    Installation — new users

    The plug-in is currently available for Revit 2022 and above. Ensure Revit is closed before beginning installation.
    1. 1
      Download XSTREAM.CAD for Revit from the downloads section.
    2. 2
      Once your software has downloaded, if installation doesn't start automatically click the .exe file and follow the on-screen prompts.
    3. 3
      You do not need to tick the "reset license" checkbox.
    4. 4
      If you've previously installed XSTREAM.CAD for Revit you may see a notification telling you the .NET framework is already installed — follow the prompts to continue.
    5. 5
      Once installation has completed, launch Revit. You'll be automatically prompted to enter your XSTREAM3D subscription details.
    6. 6
      The plug-in is ready to use. You'll need our XSTREAM.Creator to work with your Point Clouds inside Revit.

    A note on VPC files

    All XSTREAM3D desktop applications require Point Clouds to be converted into our proprietary VPC format (.vpc) before they can be used. XSTREAM.Creator is available to download from the XSTREAM3D website.
