2D to Revit Model Conversion
Arrival 3D converts 2D source material into precise and data-rich LOD 100 to 500 Revit modeling services that support design, construction and facility management teams.
2D to Revit conversion is the process of converting flat source material such as DWG and PDF files into an intelligent Revit model. Unlike a line in CAD that only represents flat geometry, a Revit element can contain information such as dimensions, materials, classifications, performance data and spatial relationships.
This resulting model containing structural, material and spatial information supports clash detection, enhancing collaboration, minimizing costly errors and accurate quantity takeoffs throughout the project lifecycle. We accept any 2D source material that communicates the design objective including:
2D architectural DWG and PDF drawings converted into complete Revit architectural models. Walls, floors, roofs, ceilings, doors, windows, and stairs built to your title block, view template, and naming convention standards. Output supports SD, DD, and CD phase documentation.
Structural 2D drawings — framing plans, sections, and foundation layouts — converted into coordinated Revit structural models. Steel, concrete, and precast elements modeled at the required LOD with connection details and slab openings included.
Mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection 2D drawings converted into coordinated 3D MEP Revit models. Duct routing, pipe runs, conduit, and equipment placement modeled from CAD source data and ready for coordination and clash detection.
All projects have a defined workflow process to convert 2D source material into Revit models while retaining clarity, consistency and alignment with project requirements.
When architectural, structural, and MEP aspects are represented in a single Revit model, cooperation between disciplines improves. This helps overall reduce design conflicts, enhances clash detection and minimizes cross-discipline drawing problems before construction starts.
When specifications, maintenance records and asset information are embedded within the model, facility teams have a structured reference that will be helpful well after construction and throughout the building's lifecycle.
Material quantities are obtained directly from model elements providing estimators with field-accurate material data that supports reliable cost planning, procurement decisions and budget control.
2D to Revit conversion for clash detection ensures all building systems exist within the same model. Thus, potential clashes between architectural, structural and MEP elements can be identified and resolved before they become costly field issues.
Arrival 3D provides 2D to Revit conversion services by comprehending real construction projects not just design software. We rebuild from 2D source material with high technical accuracy and deliver clean datasets that teams can view and work with right away.
Native parametric BIM model built to your template, naming conventions, and agreed LOD. Open and work with it on day one no cleanup required.
IFC 2×3 or IFC 4 export for use in Archicad, Tekla, BIM 360, open BIM tools, and software-neutral project handovers.
Coordination and clash detection model ready for Navisworks Manage. Load immediately for multi-discipline clash review.
Plan, elevation, section, and detail sheets plotted directly from the Revit model to your title block format.
2D CAD drawings derived directly from the BIM model — replacing your original source drawings with model-accurate documentation.
Door schedule, window schedule, room data sheet, wall type legend, and material quantities — all extracted automatically from the model.
Full documentation of every modeling decision assumptions made, dimensions inferred, items flagged for field verification, and discrepancies found in source drawings.
For early-stage design, it typically requires lower LODs whereas in the case of coordination, construction and as-built models they require a greater level of detail. If unsure, we define the needed LOD during the quoting stage and deliver models with LODs ranging from 100 to 500.
LOD tracks how dense your model’s geometry and embedded metadata actually are, scaling from LOD 100 conceptual lines to LOD 500 verified as-built twins. Arrival 3D matches your current construction phase to the correct LOD upfront, so your project team gets exactly what they need without wasted budget.
The initial step in the process is to import the DWG file, set up the right levels and grids followed by modeling the geometry consisting of walls, floors, roofs, doors, windows and other structural objects in Revit. If you hire, the Arrival 3D team we take care of the complete process while providing utmost precision with LOD-compliant models on time.
It is defined by the project’s requirements. Revit is recommended for BIM projects because it generates intelligent 3D models and automatically updates drawings as changes happen. On the other side, AutoCAD is better suited for 2D drafting and projects that do not require BIM workflows.
The timeline varies depending on the project’s scope and complexity. Regardless, we provide fixed-price quotes within 48 hours and deliverables within 10 working days.
