Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between scan-to-BIM scanning and BIM modeling?

Scan-to-BIM involves two distinct steps: (1) 3D laser scanning to capture point cloud data, and (2) BIM modeling to convert that point cloud into intelligent Revit/BIM objects. Some companies do both steps; others specialize in one. THE FUTURE 3D, for example, handles step 1 (scanning and point cloud delivery) while the client or a BIM firm handles step 2 (modeling).

What LOD levels are available for scan-to-BIM?

LOD (Level of Development) ranges from LOD 100 (basic massing) to LOD 400 (fabrication-ready detail). Most renovation and facility management projects need LOD 200-300. LOD 300 is standard for architectural documentation. LOD 400 is needed for MEP coordination and fabrication. Higher LOD costs more and takes longer to model.
