Scan-to-CAD Modeling Services

Move from raw scan data into usable design files

Capturing a building is only part of the workflow. Scan-to-CAD modeling takes the point cloud and translates it into organized files that architects, contractors, and consultants can actually use in active projects.

Our drafting team interprets the geometry into drafting and modeling environments so your team doesn't start from raw scan data alone. If the project needs editable backgrounds for design development, permit work, or coordination, this is where the scan becomes more valuable.

We focus on clean deliverables, not overloaded files. The goal is to create models and drawings that are practical for real production use, not just technically complete.

For existing-building work in Grand Rapids and West Michigan, scan-to-CAD reduces setup time, limits rework, and gives project teams a stronger starting point when deadlines are tight.

Point cloud to Revit and BIM workflows

For teams working in Autodesk Revit, we convert point cloud data directly into Revit RVT models — a scan-to-BIM workflow that gives architects and engineers a parametric 3D model of the existing building rather than just 2D drawings. Point cloud to Revit delivery is available for projects where BIM coordination is required. See our scan-to-BIM service page for details on LOD levels and what's included.

Who needs this

• Architects moving quickly into schematic design
• Contractors needing editable backgrounds for coordination
• Design-build teams working from existing conditions
• MEP engineers planning ductwork routing and plumbing layouts
• Interior designers working from accurate existing dimensions
• Real estate developers evaluating buildings before purchase or renovation
• Property managers maintaining accurate facility records
• Owners and consultants who need digital records in standard formats

What you get

• Clean Autodesk AutoCAD, Autodesk Revit, or SketchUp files
• Geometry derived from LiDAR point cloud data
• Optional floor plan and existing-condition documentation support
• Files prepared for ongoing design and construction workflows
