Scan to CAD and BIM

Create defined CAD or LOD 200 BIM deliverables from a Matterport capture and its point-cloud data.

Useful for

  • Existing-condition documentation
  • Design-team starting information
  • Renovation and fit-out briefing
  • Facilities records

What we need

  • Required CAD or BIM format
  • Model elements and level of detail
  • Matterport camera and capture plan
  • Coordinate and control requirements
  • Tolerance and verification method

Outputs

  • Matterport E57 or point cloud
  • 2D CAD drawings
  • LOD 200 BIM file
  • Revit deliverable
  • Model notes

Measurements, accuracy and downstream files

Matterport tours support in-browser reference measurements, and exported point-cloud data can be used for agreed CAD or BIM deliverables.

Relative accuracy

This is how consistently points relate to one another inside the captured model. For example: whether two wall points that are four metres apart remain four metres apart in the model.

Absolute accuracy

This is how closely the model aligns with an independent real-world coordinate or survey control. For example: whether a captured corner lands on the same coordinate as the project survey grid.

The camera, capture route, site geometry, lighting, export and control method all affect the result. We confirm the actual Matterport camera, intended use and required tolerance before planning CAD or BIM work.

For the manufacturer’s current specifications and export limitations, see Matterport’s Pro3 technical specifications and MatterPak guidance.
