Scan-to-2D

Accurate 2D AutoCAD drawings created from laser scan data, giving architects, engineers and project teams a reliable as-built base for design, planning and refurbishment.

01/What we deliver

Accurate 2D drawings from laser scan data.

Drawings are agreed upfront around the project brief, required accuracy and the information your design team needs.

  • 01Floor plansCoordinated 2D AutoCAD drawings across the required building levels.
  • 02Sections and cross-sectionsExisting-building geometry through agreed locations.
  • 03Internal and external elevationsSurvey-based elevations of façades and agreed internal areas.
  • 04Reflected ceiling and roof plansCeiling layouts, overhead features and roof geometry where required.
  • 05DWG and PDF outputsReady for architectural, engineering and project workflows.
02/Why Scan-to-2D

Keeping it simple.

Not every project needs a BIM model. Where the design team only needs dependable 2D information, Scan-to-2D provides an accurate drawing base without the scope of full 3D modelling.
