2D CAD drawings can be easily created from a 3D scan for reasonable cost. In a single day, one of our highly experienced 3D scanning technicians can cover many thousands of square feet, possibly tens of thousands or more depending on site conditions.

A horizontal section cut through a building, showing the layout of rooms, walls, doors, and windows from a top-down view.
A top-down view of a building’s roof, showing slopes, ridges, valleys, drainage, materials, and any roof-mounted elements (e.g., HVAC units, skylights).
A horizontal view of the ceiling, including light fixtures, ventilation, ceiling heights, and decorative elements.
A vertical view of a building’s exterior, showing facade details, materials, windows, doors, and height measurements.
A vertical cut-through of a building showing internal structures, floors, walls, and construction details.
A simplified schematic of the site plan showing utilities and services such as electrical, plumbing, drainage, and communication lines.
There are two methods for obtaining plan drawings from 3D laser scan point clouds. The first is to utilize slices from the point cloud as a reference to draw CAD linework over. This can be an economical way to quickly obtain CAD drawings from 3D scanning. Point clouds can be trimmed and sectioned in every direction, making it possible to obtain any 2D perspective desired.
The second way to obtain 2D drawings from the 3D laser scanning process is to first create a 3D CAD model using the scan-to-BIM process. Scan to bim models in software such as Autodesk Revit can be used to export plan and elevation views. Because the geometry is already defined in 3D, exporting 2D drawings requires little extra effort.
Plants and industrial environments are always changing. They must in order to keep working right. Expansion, improvement, and updates are just what is necessary for any commercial endeavor to remain in business. But almost universally, the ability to maintain a set of 2D or 3D drawings that reflect the as-built condition of the plant is difficult, which is why it often doesn’t get done.
3D laser scanning provides a tool for updating as-built drawings. It is not an “easy button”, but it is a methodical, organized and efficient process for capturing the state of things and creating freshly updated CAD drawings.

Scan to Plan is an AI-powered blueprint scanner that converts physical sketches, blueprints, and architectural drawings into digital floor plans. This feature helps architects, contractors, interior designers, and homeowners quickly transform rough sketches into professional plans.
Our advanced image recognition technology scans and interprets structural elements like walls, doors, and room layouts. Simply upload a photo, PDF, or scanned document, and our system will generate an editable floor plan or construction layout.
Scan to Plan supports JPG, PNG, PDF, and TIFF formats. For the best results, use a high-resolution image with clear, visible details.
Yes, our AI-based blueprint scanner ensures high accuracy. However, users can manually adjust dimensions and fine-tune the layout for greater precision.
