Reality Capture

Scan to BIM and Scan to CAD, built for portfolios

We capture your sites by laser, drone or phone and deliver BIM models or CAD drawings to the Robotic Imaging web app, from multi-site programs to one-off adaptive reuse projects.

LOD 200 Basic

General shapes and sizes with minimal data. Best for space planning and early cost estimates.

Geometry: Adequate
Information: Minimal
Accuracy: Adequate

LOD 300 Standard

Precise geometry and key data. The standard for most design work.

Geometry: Precise
Information: Adequate
Accuracy: Precise

LOD 350 High

Detail showing how building systems connect. Best for coordination.

Geometry: Exact

LOD 400 Fabrication

Detail suitable for fabrication and installation.

01 Capture

How is a site captured?

Laser scanning, FAA-certified drone capture or the free RI Capture mobile app, depending on the site.

In the parking lot

Laser scanning

A tripod laser scanner records the site.

Over the roof

FAA-certified drone

Aerial capture from an FAA-certified drone.

Inside the store, and on the roof

RI Capture mobile app

The free RI Capture app, on a phone.

02 Model

What do you get?

Scan to CAD produces 2D drawings. Scan to BIM produces a 3D model with asset data you can manage over time.

Which BIM level of development do I need?

Most design work uses LOD 300. Choose a higher level when trades need to coordinate or fabricate.

Have a multi-site program or a single project?
