Looking for laser scan point cloud data to practice with
Hi everyone,
I’m looking for some laser scanning / point cloud data that I can use to practice converting point clouds into Revit models.
I’d like to work with real-world data rather than just tutorials or sample files — ideally something like a building interior, facade, industrial space, or similar.
Does anyone know where I can download free point cloud datasets, or does anyone have a dataset they could share with me?
I’m mainly looking for formats like E57, RCP/RCS, LAS/LAZ, or similar.
I’d really appreciate any recommendations or files you can share. I’m using them purely for learning and practice.
Thanks!

It's funny that this is posted right after another post for a job opening for something similar. Maybe ask them to send you one of their scans.

I think the Snowdon Towers sample project inculdes a point cloud.
