BIM & Deliverables
Scan-to-CAD & Layered 2D/3D Drawings (.DWG)
Standardized Definition
Scan-to-CAD is the drafting process of extracting precise 2D vector floor plans, ceiling reflective plans, cross-sections, and building elevations from 3D LiDAR point clouds into native Autodesk AutoCAD (.DWG / .DXF) formats. All CAD deliverables from Digital Strada are fully layered, dimensioned, and aligned with standard architectural AIA conventions.
Applicable Standards
- Autodesk DWG/DXF Format
- AIA CAD Layering Standards
Industry Applications & Use Cases
- Architectural Layout Planning & Permit Applications
- Layered 2D Floor Plans & Elevation Sections
- Tenant Fit-Out & Lease Agreement Space Plans
