Problem Statement
Scan Data Rarely Arrives Archicad-Ready
Archicad-centric practices still receive point clouds and Revit-centric deliverables that fight their libraries, composites and documentation templates — forcing remapping and rework before renovation design can proceed.
Our Solution
Native Archicad Delivery From Reality Capture
BIMZ Studio builds Archicad models directly from your registered cloud using composites, favorites and layer conventions your team already uses — so renovation and documentation start in a familiar environment.

Benefits
Why Teams Choose Our Point Cloud to Archicad Service
A dedicated Archicad modeling service built for teams standardized on Graphisoft's virtual building approach.
GDL-Based Elements
Walls, slabs and openings modeled as true Archicad elements, not imported mesh geometry.
Scan-Verified Accuracy
Element placement checked against the source point cloud with a documented deviation pass.
BIMcloud & Teamwork Ready
Models structured to drop cleanly into BIMcloud or Teamwork project environments.
Predictable Delivery
Fixed-scope projects ship in 5–10 business days from confirmed scope.
Workflow
Our Point Cloud to Archicad Process
An Archicad-native pipeline that respects your renovation filters and layer conventions from the first element.
01
Point Cloud Intake
Upload your registered scan; we confirm survey point, story heights and units against your Archicad template.
02
Template & Layer Setup
Your point cloud is linked into Archicad using your firm's template, layers and renovation filters.
03
Element-Based Modeling
Walls, slabs, roofs and openings are modeled using native Archicad tools to your specified LOD.
04
QA Against Scan
Every element is checked against the source point cloud for tolerance before handover.
05
Delivery & Revisions
You receive an organized PLN file with two rounds of included revisions.
Deliverables
What You'll Receive
Every Archicad engagement ships as a ready-to-open project, structured the way your team already works.
Native PLN Project File

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to what teams most often ask before starting a point cloud to archicad project.
Do you model directly inside our Archicad template?
Yes. We link your point cloud into your firm's Archicad template and build using your existing layers and renovation filters.
What LOD do you typically deliver?
Most Point Cloud to Archicad projects are delivered at LOD 200–400, depending on your documentation stage.
Can you work with our composite structures and profiles?
Yes, we can model using your provided composites and complex profiles, or build to Archicad defaults if none are supplied.
