Scan to CAD | Accurate 2D Drawings from Point Cloud Data

 Asbuild3D delivers precise 2D CAD elevations from point cloud data. Fast, accurate, and detailed drawings for renovation, design, and documentation.


From Scan to CAD – Precision Drawings from Point Cloud Data

At Asbuild3D, we turn reality into precise technical documentation. This project is a perfect example of our Scan to CAD expertise, where we transformed laser scan data into highly accurate 2D CAD drawings for a residential building.



Project Overview

This property required detailed elevation drawings for renovation and documentation purposes. We began with a laser scan survey, generating a dense point cloud that captured every architectural feature — from roof tiles and balcony railings to window arches and door frames.

Our Workflow

  1. Point Cloud Acquisition – Using high-precision laser scanning, we captured millions of data points to represent the structure in 3D.

  2. Data Processing – Cleaned and registered the scan data for accuracy.

  3. CAD Conversion – Translated the point cloud into 2D vector drawings, including all architectural details, dimensions, and elevation profiles.

  4. Final Output – Delivered accurate, editable CAD drawings ready for architectural design, planning, or restoration work.

Why Scan to CAD Matters

  • Unmatched Accuracy – Eliminates errors from manual measurements.

  • Time Efficiency – Faster than traditional site measuring methods.

  • Comprehensive Documentation – Perfect for architects, engineers, and contractors.

  • Supports Heritage & Renovation Work – Ensures original details are preserved.

Key Details

  • Scope: 2D CAD Elevation from Point Cloud

  • Applications: Renovation planning, architectural design, record documentation

  • Accuracy: Millimeter-level precision

  Case Study of a 3-Story Residential House in the UK At AsBuild3D , we recently had the pleasure of working on a 3-story residential house project located in the United Kingdom . The project required LOD 350 detailing , and we successfully completed it in 6 working days with a dedicated team of just two skilled professionals . It was a truly beautiful house, and both my team and I enjoyed working on it. Using Autodesk Revit , we transformed the point cloud data into an accurate and detailed 3D model. Benefits of Creating a 3D Model from Point Cloud Data High Accuracy – Captures precise dimensions and architectural details. Better Visualization – Allows stakeholders to clearly see the design before construction or renovation. Improved Coordination – Architects, engineers, and contractors can work on the same model seamlessly. Time & Cost Savings – Reduces errors and rework on-site. Heritage Documentation – Preserves the design of special or historic b...

Scan to BIM Success Story – School Renovation Project in Greece

Image
  Scan to BIM Success Story – School Renovation Project in Greece At Asbuild3D , we recently completed a challenging Scan to BIM project for a school in Greece . The client approached us with a dense point cloud scan , captured using the Leica BLK360 scanner , and requested a high-accuracy 3D model along with 2D floor plans, elevations, and sections for renovation purposes. The Client’s Challenge The client was initially concerned because the point cloud data was not properly captured in certain areas , leading to gaps and noise. Since the renovation project required very high accuracy , the client was worried about whether a reliable 3D and 2D output could be achieved from the given data. Our Approach The Asbuild3D expert team analyzed the dense point cloud carefully and developed a highly accurate 3D model . From this model, we generated detailed 2D drawings (floor plans, elevations, and sections) . Where the scan data was missing, our team cross-verified building f...

📸 What is Scan to CAD ?

Image
📸 What is Scan to CAD – Façade? Scan to CAD is a process that involves capturing a building's real-world data using 3D laser scanning (LiDAR) or photogrammetry , and then converting this point cloud data into accurate 2D CAD drawings such as elevations, sections, and floor plans . When applied to façades , this workflow allows engineers, architects, and conservation teams to generate detailed drawings of building exteriors—saving time, reducing human error, and ensuring precision. 🧱 Why Use Scan to CAD for Façades? Here’s why the industry is shifting to Scan to CAD for façade documentation: ✅ High Accuracy Laser scans capture millions of data points within minutes, resulting in highly accurate 3D representations of façade geometry. ✅ As-Built Documentation Perfect for renovations, restorations, or retrofits where existing drawings are outdated or missing. ✅ Saves Time No need for manual site measurements. Scan once, and extract all the views and dimensions you need. ✅ Complex ...
