As-built documentation
Floor plans, elevations, and site drawings from the scanned record, not tape measures alone.
2D CAD
Standard 2D CAD delivery
Robotic Imaging turns 3D laser scans into accurate 2D CAD drawings for as-builts, MEP documentation, space planning, and construction docs.
What is scan-to-2D CAD?
We capture a space with laser scanners, then trace the point cloud into 2D CAD that outlines walls, openings, and systems. The drawings support architectural and mechanical design, structural analysis, and field documentation, especially on complex or irregular geometry that is hard to measure by hand.
MEP and space planning
Clear 2D sheets for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing layout and adaptive reuse planning.

When do teams use scan-to-2D CAD?
- As-built documentation for renovations and adaptive reuse
- Scan-to-BIM handoffs that still need printable 2D sheets
- MEP documentation and space planning for commercial interiors
- Capturing irregular shapes that resist manual measuring
Frequently asked questions
- How does scan-to-2D CAD work?
- A 3D laser scan produces a point cloud. Drafting teams then create 2D CAD by tracing that data into plans, elevations, and related sheets.
- What is it used for?
- Architectural and mechanical design, structural analysis, construction documentation, as-builts, MEP sheets, and space planning.
- Why use a scan instead of measuring by hand?
- Point-cloud tracing captures complex or irregular geometry that is slow and error-prone to measure manually.
- Does this support Scan-to-BIM?
- Yes. 2D CAD often sits alongside Scan-to-BIM deliverables when teams need both models and traditional drawing sets.
