3D CAD models

The density of information contained within the point cloud provides many advantages but also comes with its own challenges. While some modern software applications offer semi-automatic solutions to fit detail in CAD, the majority relies on a manual process. Our highly skilled technicians have vast experience in the manipulation and conversion of point cloud data into CAD or BIM products.Our CAD services include creating as-built 3D CAD models from a point cloud and textured 3D CAD models.

Textured models can also be produced using either generic or true textures. This may be useful, for example, in architectural marketing applications or for the integration of a lighting scheme.

Prior to commissioning a 3D model, it is vital to decide on the required level of detail and accuracy of the final delivery. This will be mainly determined by the purpose of the deliverable. For example, a 1:20 fully detailed architectural model will be more time consuming and costly to produce. If you simply require contextual elevations to support a planning application perhaps 1:100 level of detail will be sufficient.
