Revit RVT model
Select the architectural, structural and visible MEP elements to be modeled. Agree the Revit version, levels, grids, families, naming and required model information before production.
Scan to BIM in Highland, California
LiDAR to Revit: Existing-Condition Models
0
SQ FT LiDAR SCANNED — GLOBAL TOTAL
Scan to BIM in Highland, California converts measured, visible building conditions into an editable Revit model and agreed IFC deliverables. Define the model elements, source data and checking criteria for renovation, design coordination or facilities documentation.
Highland’s Community Design Element describes a historic district with Craftsman Bungalow, Victorian-influenced, Gothic Revival and early commercial buildings, as well as the East Highland Village area. For an individual property, capture requirements should follow the actual roof and facade features being altered.
Historic Village building forms and facade detail
Plan your Highland project
Specify which roof changes, projecting bays, porch elements and openings require modelled geometry. Separate a measured building envelope from detailed decorative components, and agree where photographs or detail drawings are more appropriate than generalized BIM objects.
Define the deliverables
IFC exchange model
Request an agreed exchange model for coordination between BIM tools. Define the IFC version, property requirements and alignment with the native Revit model.
Point-cloud reference
Registered E57 or agreed RCP/RCS data can be included in the scope. Define units, coordinates, segmentation and capture gaps. CAD drawings can be requested alongside the model.
Choose Scan to BIM, Scan to CAD, or both
| Project need | Scan to BIM | Scan to CAD |
|---|---|---|
| Primary output | Editable Revit RVT model and agreed IFC model | Agreed 2D DWG/DXF drawings and PDF sheets |
| Typical use | Existing-condition modeling, renovation design and model coordination | Measured plans, sections, elevations and fit-out drawing backgrounds |
| Define before production | Modeled elements, LOD, Revit version, coordinates and tolerance | Drawing list, layers, units, scales, datum and tolerance |
From source data to usable files
Confirm the brief
Share the address, area, floors, intended use and target date. Agree modeled elements, LOD, software version, coordinates, tolerance and exclusions.
Review data or plan capture
Review existing point clouds for registration, alignment and visible coverage. Where new capture is needed, confirm site access, availability and the capture scope separately.
Build the agreed model
Model the selected visible or accessible elements in the agreed Revit version. Record gaps and assumptions; do not treat concealed construction as measured geometry.
Check and deliver
Review the model against source data and agreed acceptance criteria. Deliver the specified native and exchange files with scope notes and recorded limitations.

Project questions
Can I use an existing point cloud for a Highland project?
Existing E57 or RCP/RCS data can be reviewed for suitability. Provide the file format, registration information, units, coordinate reference, capture date and coverage. Gaps or alignment issues may require further evidence or additional capture.
Does LOD 200 or LOD 300 specify measurement accuracy?
No. LOD describes the agreed level of model development. The proposal must separately define modeled elements, dimensional tolerance, control, coordinates, software version, exclusions and acceptance criteria.
Which BIM files can be requested?
Depending on the agreed scope, outputs can include a native Revit RVT model, an IFC exchange model and registered E57 or RCP/RCS point-cloud data. Specify required versions, properties and any accompanying CAD drawings before production.
Can concealed or inaccessible elements be modeled?
Scanning records visible, accessible surfaces. Concealed services, wall interiors and spaces outside the scan coverage require other verified evidence or further access. Any assumptions and exclusions must be recorded.
Is field capture available in Highland?
Availability is reviewed for the exact address, access conditions, scope and schedule. AeroFrohne is headquartered in Corpus Christi, Texas, USA. A location page does not indicate a staffed local office; capture arrangements, fees and delivery dates are agreed in the proposal.
Prepare your project inquiry
Send the project address, approximate square footage, floors, intended use, available scan data, required files and target date. Include access limits, tolerance, control and coordinate requirements. The proposal defines the accepted scope and deliverables.
Confirm field capture for the project address, access conditions, scope and schedule. AeroFrohne is headquartered in Corpus Christi, Texas; a city service page does not indicate a staffed local office. Capture arrangements, fees and delivery dates are agreed in the proposal.
