The question every surveyor asks

How do you convert physical space into accurate CAD, efficiently, without a second visit? The answer is a workflow where capture, registration and drafting are designed as one chain instead of three separate jobs.

Step-by-step

  • Capture: continuous walk per floor, closing loops at the entry point.
  • Register: automatic loop closure, control points applied where required.
  • Slice: horizontal and vertical sections generated at chosen levels.
  • Draft: vector traced over the slice, exported to DWG with layer standards.

Outcome

  • About 45% less drafting effort per building.
  • Dimensional checks resolved against the cloud instead of site visits.
  • Consistent layer and lineweight standards across all deliverables.
