Stories are detected from the points themselves, from the lowest floor to the top. No splitting the file, no uploading floor by floor.
All floors, one upload
Each story is cut at wall height and every wall is traced on the points: straight, angled, diagonal or curved. Then each wall is measured against the scan, thickness and height included.
Traced walls Diagonal and curved walls
Measured, not assumed
Openings are found in the walls and sized from the scan: width, height and sill.
Doors Windows
Sized from your scan
Walls rise to their measured height, story by story. The AI adds floor slabs, ceilings, roofs, columns and stairs automatically, wherever your scan shows them.
One model of the whole building
You see the model inside your own point cloud and side by side with it, from any angle. The plan is charged only if we deliver it.

Scan to BIM, also called 3D laser scan to BIM, turns a laser scan of an existing building into a BIM model: walls, doors, windows, floors and roofs as real objects you can open and edit in Revit or any IFC software. Point cloud to BIM is the same thing under another name, because a laser scan arrives as a point cloud. A modeler usually traces the scan by hand, wall by wall; ScanToBIM-CAD models every story automatically, and our point cloud to BIM software page compares the ways to do it.
One upload covers every story of your scan. Automated point cloud modeling gives you a 3D model of the whole building and the drawings, measured from the points, not guessed.
Stories are found in the scan itself. Every floor is traced and measured, and all of them end up in one model.
Square rooms, angled corners, diagonal and curved walls, each with its own thickness and height taken from the scan.
Openings placed in their walls and sized from the points: width, height and sill height.
Closed stories, not floating walls: slabs, ceilings and roofs wherever your scan shows them.
The model is drawn inside your point cloud and next to it, so you can check every wall before you download.
The AI models them automatically: columns in halls and open plans, stairs between the floors, in the same model as everything else.
From the point cloud on your drive to a model you can open in Revit, in three steps.
Drag and drop your point cloud file. We support .PLY, .E57, .LAS, and .LAZ formats with automatic conversion. You can view your scan in the browser within minutes.
The AI models every story: walls, doors and windows, slabs and roofs. We email you when it’s ready, usually within a few hours, at most 24 hours. Then compare the model against your own scan, side by side.
Download the .RVT, .IFC and .DXF files, ready for Revit, AutoCAD or any CAD/BIM software: $29 per scan, all floors included.

Your model comes as a native Revit file (.rvt) with walls, floors, doors and windows on your levels. It opens directly in Revit 2024 or later, with no IFC import step.
The same building also comes as an IFC model for ArchiCAD, Blender and other BIM tools, and as DXF floor plans that open in AutoCAD and save as DWG.
A scan-to-BIM firm models your scan by hand and charges by floor area, so a bigger building costs more. Here the whole building is modeled automatically for $29 per scan. Minimum fees, turnaround and what each option models are compared on our scan to BIM services page.
Even professional architects spend hours on each floor: about 6 hours per floor for large office and lab floors in a 2023 study.

A BIM model of a scan, made by hand, costs $1.00 to $7.00 per sq ft at one scanning firm’s published rates: $2,000 to $14,000 for a 2,000 sq ft building. ScanToBIM-CAD: $29 per scan, all floors.

Manual tracing introduces inaccuracies. Our machine-driven process ensures a consistent, reliable starting point every time.
Five real scans, showing what you get from yours: the scan on one side of the curtain, the generated model on the other.
Our AI models the inside, the outside and the whole building in one go: as-built documentation, factory layouts, residential floor plans and full BIM models, from handheld or terrestrial scanners.
Bottom line: If you draw as-built floor plans from interior LiDAR scans, start from an AI draft instead of a blank screen. In an independent 2024 study of 12 buildings, AI-assisted modeling took about 40% less time than modeling by hand. Perfect for property documentation, and space planning.

It’s automated scan-to-BIM software, an alternative to scan-to-BIM services: our AI models your scan, and you compare the result with your own scan, side by side.
There is nothing to install: you upload and check everything in your browser, and the modeling happens on our servers.
$29 per scan, all floors included. No subscription.
Uploading your scan, converting it and viewing it in the browser are free. When you upload, you choose whether you want the AI floor plan; if you do, your card is saved and charged only if we deliver the plan. If our AI can’t produce a reliable plan, we tell you why and nothing is charged.
The DXF + IFC files are yours, and re-downloads are free. No trial to expire, nothing to cancel.
Scan-to-BIM services that model by hand price by floor area: $1.00 to $7.00 per sq ft for a BIM model at one scanning firm’s published rates, so $2,000 to $14,000 for a 2,000 sq ft building.
ScanToBIM-CAD is $29 per scan, all floors included, charged only if we deliver the plan.
You can view your own scan in the browser for free before you order anything. The floor plan is charged only if we deliver it; you then compare it with your scan side by side and download the DXF + IFC.
If our AI can’t produce a reliable plan, we tell you why and nothing is charged. You can still view your scan in the browser, free.
You can view your scan in the browser within minutes of upload. The floor plan takes longer: we email you when it’s ready — usually within a few hours, at most 24 hours. Meanwhile your dashboard shows which stage your scan is at.
Yes. Stories are detected from the scan itself — you don’t have to split the file or upload each floor separately. You get a floor plan for each story, plus one IFC with the whole building.
One price for the whole scan: $29 per scan, charged only if we deliver the plan.
Input: PLY (ASCII and binary), E57 (terrestrial laser scanners such as Faro, Leica and Trimble), LAS and LAZ. Large scans are welcome: we’ve processed files of more than 20 GB. Upload the file as it is; the conversion happens on our side.
Output: DXF (2D floor plans for AutoCAD, LibreCAD or any CAD software) and IFC (3D BIM models for Revit, ArchiCAD or Blender).
Revit (.rvt): a native Revit model with walls, floors, doors and windows on your levels. It opens directly in Revit 2024 or later, with no IFC import step.
Our AI detects and exports walls, doors and windows from your point cloud, on every story it finds. Wall heights, thicknesses and opening sizes are measured against the scan rather than assumed. Results are accurate for well-captured scans, though you may need minor adjustments for complex geometries or areas with scan noise. It’s designed to give you a 90% complete starting point, saving hours of manual tracing.
Your scans and floor plans are shown only in your own account, and files are stored encrypted. Files you have paid for stay available to re-download. To have a project deleted, email support@thescantobim.com.
No. Everything runs in your browser, including the 3D viewer: upload your scan, view it in 3D and download the DXF + IFC, on any computer with an internet connection.
Yes. Our tool is optimized for handheld LiDAR scanners like SatLab, GeoSLAM, Leica BLK2GO and NavVis. Export your scan as E57, LAS or PLY, upload it, and we email you the same day when your floor plan is ready. The AI handles the typical noise and gaps from handheld scanning.
DXF (2D floor plan): clean lines for AutoCAD, LibreCAD or any CAD software; it opens in AutoCAD and saves as DWG. Perfect for as-built documentation, space planning and quick edits.
IFC (3D BIM model): full 3D walls, doors and windows for Revit, ArchiCAD or Blender. Ideal for BIM workflows, renovation planning and 3D visualization.
Revit (.rvt): a native Revit model with walls, floors, doors and windows on your levels. It opens directly in Revit 2024 or later, with no IFC import step.
Revit (.rvt): a native Revit model with walls, floors, doors and windows on your levels. It opens directly in Revit 2024 or later, with no IFC import step.
Traditional method: import the point cloud into AutoCAD or Revit and trace every wall, door and window by hand, floor by floor: hours of work for each floor.
With ScanToBIM-CAD: upload your LAS, E57 or PLY file and order the AI floor plan, compare it with your own scan when it is ready the same day, then download the DXF + IFC. Our AI detects walls, doors and windows on every story — a 90% complete draft you can refine in your preferred CAD software.
