Construction in existing buildings: Creating 3D models with point clouds and CAD software

Plan your projects professionally and create your accurate 3D model.

  • Accurate fit: Set the point cloud into the origin of the drawing

  • Collision-free: recognise critical details in the building at an early stage

  • Automatic: itemisation, identical part search, bills of materials, fully dimensioned production drawings

Building in existing structures can be so easy!
With HiCAD Point Cloud, you can easily complete the creation of your 3D model

When working with HiCAD 3D-CAD, you can additionally use the ‘Point Cloud’ extension module:

  • Conveniently switch between 2D and 3D views on a single user interface to control the position of the point cloud
  • Respond flexibly to spontaneous customer change requests with individual modelling tools
  • Transfer bills of materials, production documents and workshop drawings including complete dimensioning to production without loss thanks to smart automatisms

Easily create your 3D model directly in the point cloud

You want to add stairs, railings or other objects to an existing project? With the point cloud module of HiCAD 3D-CAD, we offer you an optimal tool that supports you in planning your accurate 3D model.

Use a 3D scanner to create the point cloud of your existing object and simply load it into HiCAD for further planning in order to accurately design and integrate the sub-objects to be added.

In combination with the 3D CAD software HiCAD, the 3D models are created using the point cloud and with the help of staircase and railing configurators. Thanks to the automatic collision checks, planning errors are a thing of the past. The possibility of 2D/3D models in one drawing provides support even in very complex projects.
