ScantoCADDrafting
Convert3DLaserScansintoPrecision2DDrawingsand3DCADModels.
Scan to CAD drafting is the process of converting raw 3D laser scan data (point clouds) into accurate, editable 2D drawings and 3D CAD models. This service bridges the gap between the physical world and digital design, providing a reliable foundation for renovation, as-built documentation, and reverse engineering projects.
"Achieve up to 99% dimensional accuracy and reduce project rework with reliable as-built CAD deliverables."
Our design professionals work with industry-standard CAD software like AutoCAD, Revit, and SolidWorks to create precise and layered drawings that are ready for production. We produce models from LOD 200 (conceptual) all the way up to LOD 400 (production-level).
High Accuracy
Drawings based on scanned data provide a true representation of reality.
Editable CAD Files
Receive clean, layered DWG, DXF, and PDF files for seamless integration.
Multi-Discipline
Capability for Architectural, Structural, and MEP drawings from a single scan.
LOD 200 to 400
Tailored level of development to match your specific project needs.
SeamlessConversion:PointCloudtoCADDrafting
Our Scan to CAD process begins with a comprehensive review of your raw scan data (E57, RCP, LAS, etc.) to ensure it is suitable for drafting. We then process the point cloud, isolating the relevant areas and elements needed for your specific deliverables.
By using software such as Autodesk ReCap and AutoCAD, the drafter creates detailed 2D plans, sections, and elevations through the process of tracing point clouds with precision. All drawings are created based on validated measurements with no guesswork involved with the old blueprints.

We are experts at creating intelligent, structured drawings of your complex assets from complex scanned data. We make sure that all details of wall profiles, structures, as well as sophisticated MEP systems, are accounted for in our process.
When there is a need for an integrated approach to the project, we provide our modeling services based on federation, which allows bringing together information from different fields in one unified system.
