Accurate Elevation Drawings Based on 3D Scanning

Accurate Elevation Drawings Based on 3D Scanning

Elevation drawings are crucial architectural plans that illustrate a building’s exterior or interior vertical surfaces, providing a detailed representation of dimensions, materials, and structural features. Conventional approaches to generating elevation plans rely on manual measurements, which often require significant time and may lead to inaccuracies. 

With our advanced 3D laser scanning technology, we offer a more accurate, efficient, and cost-effective solution. Our service provides highly detailed architectural elevation drawings, ensuring precision for architects, engineers, and construction professionals. 

At ScanM2, we specialize in creating accurate elevation plans for buildings using high-resolution 3D scanning with industry-leading devices such as Faro, Leica, and Trimble. We deliver models in all essential formats, including .rvt, .dwg, .pln, and .pla, making integration into your workflow seamless.

Benefits of Our 3D Scanning-Based Elevation Drawings 

By choosing our building elevation design services, you gain numerous advantages: 

  • Unmatched Accuracy: Traditional measurement methods are prone to human error. Our 3D scanning technology ensures millimeter-level precision, capturing even the smallest details.
  • Time Efficiency: Manual surveys take days or even weeks, while 3D laser scanning allows us to complete a full site scan in just a few hours. 
  • Cost Savings: Many believe that 3D scanning is expensive, but our automated laser scanning solutions are more cost-effective than traditional manual scanning methods.
  • Detailed Documentation: We provide house elevation blueprints that include every architectural and structural element, including windows, doors, and facades. 
  • Compatibility with Modern Software: We deliver CAD-ready and BIM-compatible models in multiple file formats such as .rvt, .dwg, .ifc, and .pln for easy integration into Revit, AutoCAD, and ArchiCAD. 
  • Applicable to Various Projects: Whether you need architectural elevation drawings for renovations, restorations, new construction, or compliance documentation, our services meet your needs. 

Our Process – How We Deliver Precise Elevation Plans 

We follow a streamlined and efficient workflow to ensure the highest level of accuracy in our elevation plans for buildings: 

  1. Consultation & Project Assessment: We discuss your project’s scope, requirements, and deliverables to provide a customized solution. 
  2. On-Site 3D Laser Scanning: Our experts use Faro, Leica, and Trimble scanners to capture millions of data points, creating an ultra-precise digital representation of the structure. 
  3. Processing the Data & Generating a Point Cloud: The collected scan data is refined and converted into a high-resolution point cloud, forming the basis for your elevation drawings. 
  4. CAD & BIM Modeling: Using the point cloud, we develop elevation plans, 3D models, and 2D documentation in AutoCAD, Revit, and ArchiCAD. 
  5. Final Review & Delivery: We ensure that every elevation plan meets your specifications before delivering the final files in your preferred format.
