What Are Scan to CAD Services?

Scan to CAD services involve converting building, physical objects, equipment and architectural spaces into precise editable 2D CAD drawings that are used by AEC professionals for various applications such as  renovation planning, facilities management and coordination. 

Professional laser surveyors use terrestrial laser scanning devices to capture visible building surfaces as millions of measured points, register and share the point cloud data in E57 and RCP formats.

Our Point cloud to CAD conversion services this 3D laser scanned data into structured 2D architectural, structural and MEP drawings. This includes floor plans, elevations and sections that give your team a dependable picture of the existing building.

Architects, engineers and contractors use these existing-condition drawings to plan renovations, coordinate upgrades and document facilities.

Unlike Scan to BIM, which creates an information-rich 3D model, Scan to CAD delivers drawing-based documentation. 

3D Scan to DWG Services

Our Services

From 3D Laser Scan to CAD Drawings

See how a building’s captured surfaces become clear, usable CAD documentation. Our elevation comparison places the scanned building next to its CAD interpretation, so you can judge the accuracy yourself.

All services

Registered Point Cloud

Laser scans are registered into a single, unified point cloud that records the building’s existing dimensions and visible surfaces. This is the measured foundation every drawing is built on.
Discuss your drawing scope

CAD Drafting & Interpretation

Our drafting team sets reference planes and applies standard drawing conventions to translate raw scan geometry into clean, readable documentation. This is where experienced interpretation matters: deciding what to draw, what to simplify, and how to represent it clearly.
Discuss your drawing scope

Editable CAD Drawing

You receive layered CAD geometry with dimensions and annotations, organised so your team can edit, build on, and issue it without reworking the file first.
Discuss your drawing scope

Point Cloud to AutoCAD Conversion

Translate registered point cloud data into layered, editable AutoCAD drawings for your design workflow.
Discuss your drawing scope

Laser Scan to CAD Conversion

Interpret laser-scanned geometry into clean 2D drawings with units and tolerances agreed before drafting.

Our Scan to CAD Conversion Workflow

Every drawing we issue traces back to the point cloud it came from. Here is how we get from your scan data to a checked, editable drawing set.

Review your brief

We review your project requirements, source point cloud, drawing types, units, coverage, and intended use. Together we agree the scope, tolerances, and delivery milestones, so everyone knows what “done” looks like before drafting begins.

Check registration

We review the point cloud’s registration and processing quality, including scan alignment and coverage. If there are gaps or the site needs additional survey work, we flag it now, before CAD setup, not after drawings are underway.

Set up CAD references

The prepared point cloud is imported or referenced in the agreed CAD environment. We establish coordinates, drawing units, reference planes, and layer conventions, so every drawing shares the same base and lines up with your source data.

Draft each discipline

Our CAD drafters interpret the scan as architectural, structural, or MEP drawings, adding dimensions, annotations with the approved brief. Each discipline is drawn to the scope you agreed, no more and no less.

Check & deliver

We check dimensions, geometry, layers, and completeness against both the source point cloud data and your brief. You then receive the approved editable DWG drawing set, along with the PDF sheets.

  • Commercial building renovations
  • Existing facility documentation
  • Industrial plant modifications
  • Historic building restoration
  • MEP system upgrades
  • Building extensions & retrofits
  • Facility management documentation

Why Choose CRESIRE for Scan to CAD Services?

Share your project files with our team for an initial review. We’ll check your drawings, scan data, measurement units, site coverage, and file formats to understand your requirements and confirm the right scope for your Scan to CAD project.

AEC domain knowledge

A point cloud records everything in a space, including things nobody wants on a drawing. Our team has architecture and engineering backgrounds, so we know what to draw, what to leave out and how to show what’s really there.

Multidisciplinary, Editable Drawings

Architectural, structural and MEP drawings come from the same point cloud, so the sets agree with each other. Files arrive as layered DWG with clear dimensions and agreed conventions, ready to edit and build on.

Scan Data Expertise

Point clouds arrive in all sorts of formats depending on the scanner and survey team. We work with E57, RCP, RCS, LAS and PTS files, so whatever you send, we can open it, check it and get it ready for drafting.

Georeferencing Knowledge

We understand coordinate systems and survey control, so your drawings sit in the right place. They line up with site surveys, existing drawings and neighbouring project data without anyone having to nudge them into position.

Defined QA/QC procedures

We check registration and coverage before drafting starts. Before delivery, we check dimensions, layers and completeness against the point cloud and your brief. If something’s off, we’d rather find it than have your site team find it.

ReCap Pro and AutoCAD Skills

We register, clean and prepare point clouds in Autodesk ReCap Pro, then draft in AutoCAD with the cloud referenced directly. Every line is drawn against real data, so you aren’t getting a best guess.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Scan to CAD services interpret registered laser-scanned point cloud data as editable 2D CAD documentation. The agreed drawing set records visible existing conditions using layers, dimensions, annotations and consistent drawing conventions.

 

Scan to CAD produces 2D drawings such as plans, elevations and sections, typically in DWG or DXF. Scan to BIM creates an information-rich 3D model with building elements and properties. Choose CAD for drawing-based documentation and BIM when model-based coordination or asset information is required.

 

Share E57, RCP/RCS, LAS/LAZ, PTS or XYZ data for compatibility review. The team checks registration, units, coverage and file accessibility before agreeing the drafting scope. Other compatible formats can be assessed individually.

 

Yes. Point Cloud to DWG Conversion produces editable CAD geometry rather than a screenshot of the scan. Layers, dimensions, drawing conventions and the required level of detail are agreed for your intended use.

 

The scope can include floor plans, elevations, building sections, reflected ceiling plans and site plans. What can be documented depends on scan coverage, visibility and the required drawing detail; concealed elements cannot be reliably inferred from scan data alone.

 

Architectural, structural and MEP drafting can be scoped together or separately. Visible framing, columns, ductwork, pipes and other captured systems can be documented. Hidden systems and unscanned areas need supporting information or additional surveying.

 

Drawing accuracy depends on the survey instrument, registration quality, point density, coverage and drafting tolerance. CRESIRE reviews the source data and agrees tolerances before drafting, then checks dimensions and geometry against the scan. There is no universal accuracy guarantee for every dataset.
Building area, scan quality, discipline count, drawing complexity and review requirements determine the schedule. Share the dataset, drawing brief and deadline to receive a project-specific proposal; phased delivery can be discussed where appropriate.

 

An agreed set of editable DWG and/or DXF drawings, with PDF sheets where required. The scope identifies drawing types, units, layers, dimensions and sheet conventions. Scan to CAD deliverables are drawings, not a BIM model unless separately commissioned.

 

Send your project location, building type, approximate area, source format, drawing requirements and deadline through CRESIRE’s contact page. A sample of the scan and any reference drawings help the team review scope and prepare a tailored quote.
