- [Instructor] Sometimes you need to bring mesh geometry into Revit and when you do the results can be a little undesirable. So this week I'd like to talk about a process that you can follow to improve on that. Now I run into this a lot because I do a lot of heritage work and a lot of laser scanning and I usually end up with laser scans like this in existing spaces and there's a lot of statues and organic forms and so forth. And those kind of things aren't necessarily easy to model if you need to bring them into Revit. This statue here for example, if you tried to model this in Revit you can imagine it would be quite difficult and it would be awfully time-consuming. So a mesh model on the other hand can offer a really good alternative. So I'm going to bring the mesh model in but the goal is when you bring it into the family if you don't do any processing to it you're going to get what you see here on the left. And so…
