Scan to BIM Services in Austin, Texas
Austin LiDAR to Revit: Tech Hubs to Historic
AeroFrohne provides precision Scan to BIM services in Austin, Texas, transforming real world environments into accurate digital models. While our headquarters is in Corpus Christi, we deploy dedicated local contractors based in the Austin area. This ensures rapid mobilization for projects in downtown Austin, The Domain, Round Rock, and Silicon Hills without the cost of long distance travel.
We use the Matterport Pro3 LiDAR camera to capture high-density point clouds, which our team converts into LOD 200-400 Revit models (.RVT), CAD files (.DWG), or E57 point clouds. Whether you are retrofitting a corporate campus in Travis County or renovating a historic venue on 6th Street, we deliver the verified as-built data you need.
- Local Workforce: Deployed by local technicians for fast turnaround.
- Deliverables: Revit Models (.RVT) • 2D CAD Plans (.DWG) • E57 Point Clouds • IFC Exports
- Applications: Tech Campuses, High Rise Residential, Historic Preservation, MEP Coordination
Pro3 LiDAR Specs for Austin Projects
The Matterport Pro3 captures high fidelity depth data both indoors and outdoors, making it perfect for Austin's mix of modern glass towers, sprawling corporate campuses, and historic limestone structures. We provide verified accuracy for your architects and engineers to work confidently in Revit.
Standard Scan to BIM Deliverables
Revit Models (.RVT)
Intelligent 3D models of existing conditions. We model architecture, structure, and exposed MEP to your specified Revit version (2020-2025).
E57 Point Cloud
High density, registered point cloud files usable in Revit, Navisworks, Recap, and other BIM software for your own modeling teams.
2D CAD (.DWG)
Floor plans, reflected ceiling plans (RCP), and elevations extracted directly from the 3D data for traditional CAD workflows.
IFC Exports
Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) exports for OpenBIM compatibility, ensuring data works across ArchiCAD, Vectorworks, and more.
LOD Specification
We tailor the geometry to your needs: LOD 200 (generic massing) to LOD 350 (precise geometry with connections/interfaces).
MatterPak™ Bundle
Includes .XYZ point cloud, .OBJ mesh file, and floor plan images for quick visualization alongside the heavy BIM data.

- Pre-construction planning
- Clash detection (Navisworks)
- Sub-contractor coordination
The Workflow: Local Capture to Global Standard
1) Deploy Local Tech
We dispatch our local contractor to your site. Fast mobilization for Downtown, Round Rock, and surrounding Hill Country areas.
2) Process (Register)
Scans are registered into a unified point cloud (.E57). We clean noise and verify alignment to ensure structural accuracy.
3) Model (BIM)
Our BIM technicians import the cloud into Revit and trace geometry (walls, floors, pipes, beams) to the agreed LOD.
4) QC & Deliver
We overlay the model against the point cloud to verify accuracy, then deliver the native files (.RVT, .DWG, .RCP, .FML, .SKX) to you.
