Scan to BIM Services in San Antonio, Texas
San Antonio LiDAR to Revit: Local & Precision
AeroFrohne provides precision Scan to BIM services in San Antonio, Texas, converting existing spaces into intelligent digital models. While our headquarters is in Corpus Christi, we deploy dedicated local contractors who live in San Antonio. This means you get rapid scheduling, reduced travel costs, and technicians who know the local architecture—from the historic King William District to industrial hubs in Bexar County.
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 renovating a historic hotel near The Pearl or planning an adaptive reuse project downtown, we deliver the accurate as-built data you need.
- Local Workforce: Deployed by San Antonio-based technicians for fast turnaround.
- Deliverables: Revit Models (.RVT) • 2D CAD Plans (.DWG) • E57 Point Clouds • IFC Exports
- Applications: Historic Preservation, MEP Retrofits, As-builts, Construction Coordination
Pro3 LiDAR Specs for San Antonio Projects
The Matterport Pro3 captures high-fidelity depth data both indoors and outdoors, making it ideal for San Antonio’s diverse mix of limestone facades, modern industrial sites, and bright outdoor environments. We provide verified accuracy for your design team 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.

The Workflow: Local Capture to Global Standard
1) Deploy Local Tech
We dispatch our San Antonio-based contractor to your site. No travel delays from Corpus Christi means faster starts for you.
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) to you.
