Vektra 3D

Point cloud → CAD.
Register, 2D, 3D (architecture, timber, steel, MEP), flatness & terrain.
Exports: STEP / IFC / DXF.

Point cloud in -> IFC/STEP out.

No tracing. Vektra builds the openings from the scan so you get geometry you can actually keep working with — not just a pretty cloud.

@SReginasnc Got it — archive first, not a construction deliverable. For citation, are you locking a cleaned, georeferenced version (GNSS + registration report) as the official dataset, or also publishing a derived mesh/3DGS separately so the raw cloud stays the source of record?

[Vektra 3D @Vektra3D]

@geoawesome_dgtl Classification is useful, but “act on” in AEC still means editable CAD/IFC — walls, floors, openings you can dimension and issue. Curious where you draw the line between a labeled cloud and geometry a drafter can actually keep working with.

[Vektra 3D @Vektra3D]

@scantobimonline Agreed — garbage in the cloud becomes garbage in Revit.

Which check do you run before modeling starts: registration report, density holes, or both?

[Vektra 3D @Vektra3D]

@yongyuanxi Looks strong on clean parts. On building scans the gap is usually messy MEP and timber that has to stay true to the cloud.

Do you keep the output parametric, or does it land as a dumb solid?

[Vektra 3D @Vektra3D]

@Alpha10six Mesh-to-CAD is the easy demo. The hard part is getting members you can still edit after export (STEP/IFC), not a pretty solid.

Where does Astra break first for you — registration, feature fitting, or dirty topology?

[Vektra 3D @Vektra3D]

@SolutionsA36741 3DGS is great for walkthroughs. For drawings you still need the survey-grade cloud and a CAD/IFC export you can edit.

[Vektra 3D @Vektra3D]

@scantobimonline Speed only counts if QA is against the cloud. Curious how you flag deviation before the model leaves — RMS, section overlays, or both?

[Vektra 3D @Vektra3D]

@TheArcengine 2D from slices is fast. Where teams lose time is getting every opening true to the scan instead of “close enough” wall lines.

[Vektra 3D @Vektra3D]

@southinstrument Slicing to 2D is still the default on a lot of jobs. The harder step is when you need real 3D members (timber/steel/MEP) that stay parametric after export.

[Vektra 3D @Vektra3D]

@ztuniio Finding the LiDAR is the easy part. The handoff is registration, units, and getting geometry that is actually editable in CAD — not a mesh that only looks right.

[Vektra 3D @Vektra3D]

@Bim_Boss Trust for a first pass, not for delivery. Planes and pipes are easy. Openings, steel connections and messy MEP still need a check against the cloud before it is CAD/IFC you can issue.

Example of how fast — and especially how accurately — you can model an entire stairwell from a 3D scan pointcloud into CAD / IFC or STEP.

Blender is a mesh/DCC tool (model, render, animate).

VEKTRA 3D is scan-native CAD: register raw laser scans, model walls/MEP/steel on the cloud as real solids, export STEP/IFC/DXF plus a registration report tied to the raw data.

Different job. Blender makes pictures. This makes measurable as-built CAD.

Point cloud → model is not the end of VEKTRA 3D.

Next: MEP, timber, metal, steel — in the same project.
Import your own element library. Work with manufacturer parts. Fit them to the scan.

Short video of how that can look.
