What Is 3D Modeling from Laser Scanning?
Or how millions of laser points turn into a precise digital copy of your building
Why model after scanning?
3D laser scanning gives you a highly accurate picture of your building or space — captured in minutes. But the result, called a point cloud, isn’t something you can design or build from directly.
That’s where 3D modeling comes in — converting the raw scan data into a usable, editable digital model for planning, renovation, construction, or asset management.
So what is a 3D model?
A 3D model is a virtual representation of your building or object — built directly from the scan data. It can be:
📐 A geometry-accurate digital twin for precise planning
🧱 A simplified massing model for concept and visualization
🏗️ A detailed, BIM-ready file for engineers and contractors
It’s not a generic object. It’s your real-world space, captured as it is.
The modeling process – step by step
Laser scanning the site
using professional hardware (e.g. Leica RTC360)
Creating a point cloud
millions of data points forming the shape of the building
Importing into software
(Revit, AutoCAD, ArchiCAD, SketchUp)
Tracing geometry manually or semi-automatically
Reconstructing the 3D structure:
walls, floors, doors, beams, systems
Delivering files
in the format and level of detail you need
Why do you need a 3D model?
Use Case
Why a model helps
What type of model do you need?
We tailor the level of detail (LOD) to your goals:
LOD 100–200: basic massing, concept planning
LOD 300–400: full architectural model with windows, structure, and systems
BIM-ready: industry-standard format for digital coordination and documentation
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do I need Revit or AutoCAD to use the model?
→ No. We can provide formats for PDF, IFC, or online viewing.
Can I edit the model myself?
Yes, we deliver files in open, editable formats.
Can you also deliver 2D drawings from the model?
Absolutely — floor plans, sections, and elevations are all exportable.
