Bridge the Gap Between 2D Drafting and Modern BIM Workflows
Working from flat 2D drawings creates severe risks for modern refurbishment, facility upgrades, and multi-discipline coordination. Out-of-date elevations, uncoordinated sections, and conflicting revisions lead directly to expensive on-site rework. DigiBuild Solutions systematically reconstructs your existing assets into unified, parametric Revit models.
Ideal For
- Renovation & Retrofit Architects: Establish reliable existing-condition models before planning spatial interventions.
- Facility & Asset Managers: Convert paper archives or AutoCAD collections into digital models for space and maintenance tracking.
- Main Contractors: Convert tender 2D drawing sets into coordinated 3D models to spot coordination issues before bidding.
- MEP Subcontractors: Transform single-line schematics and 2D plant layouts into accurate 3D pipe and duct routing.
Input Requirements
- 2D Drawing Files: AutoCAD (.DWG, .DXF), MicroStation (.DGN), or high-resolution raster/PDF scans.
- Survey Scans (Optional): Terrestrial or mobile laser scan point clouds in .RCP, .RCS, or .E57 formats.
- Dimensional Standards: Grid alignments, floor-to-floor benchmark elevations, and structural datum points.
- Target LOD: Specification whether architectural walls, structural slabs, or MEP routing requires LOD 200, 300, or 350.
Disciplined 4-Stage Conversion Protocol
Unlike generic offshore conversion services that blindly trace geometry, DigiBuild Solutions validates engineering consistency at every step.
Drawing Sanitization
Purging obsolete CAD blocks, auditing dimension disparities, and verifying scale consistency between plans, sections, and elevations.
Shared Coordinates & Datum
Establishing true north, project base point, and survey coordinates to guarantee seamless federation with external models.
Parametric Reconstruction
Modeling wall assemblies, structural components, and MEP routing using authentic Revit types—not uneditable direct shapes.
