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
