Do you deliver a layout book?

View and layout setup is available on request, matched to your firm's documentation standards.

What Archicad version do you deliver in?

We deliver in your specified version, typically the current or previous two releases.

Q: How is accuracy verified?

Every model is checked against the source point cloud with a deviation analysis, and we issue a signed QA certificate.

We convert your laser scan data into precise, native Archicad models — built with proper layers, renovation filters and GDL-based elements so your team can design and document without rework.

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.

Proper Layer Structure

Models organized with layers and renovation filters matched to your firm's Archicad conventions.

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.

Point Cloud Intake

Upload your registered scan; we confirm survey point, story heights and units against your Archicad template.

Template & Layer Setup

Your point cloud is linked into Archicad using your firm's template, layers and renovation filters.

Element-Based Modeling

Walls, slabs, roofs and openings are modeled using native Archicad tools to your specified LOD.

QA Against Scan

Every element is checked against the source point cloud for tolerance before handover.

Delivery & Revisions

You receive an organized PLN file with two rounds of included revisions.

Methodology

How Point Cloud to Archicad Is Scoped

Practical definitions, limitations and commercial factors — written so they stay true from one project to the next.

What is Point Cloud to Archicad?

Point Cloud to Archicad is Scan-to-BIM delivered as a native Archicad project: stories, composites and GDL-based elements modeled against a registered point cloud, not as an imported mesh.

When Archicad versus Revit?

Use this route when your office documents in Graphisoft Archicad. Use Point Cloud to Revit when the ongoing platform is Autodesk Revit. Capture method is the same; authoring platform is the difference. IFC can be issued from either when OpenBIM exchange is in the brief.

Inputs and deliverables

Typical inputs are a registered E57, RCP/RCS or PTS cloud plus your Archicad template, layers and renovation filters when you have them. Typical deliverables are a native PLN at the agreed LOD, with IFC or drawing extracts only when scoped.

Accuracy and limitations

Model reliability follows the registered cloud. Poor registration, occlusions and hidden services are not invented. Project tolerance is agreed against the scan evidence.

Next step

If this service matches your brief, request a scoped proposal. Commercial terms depend on the project requirements you submit.
