The challenge: moving from 2D CAD to Revit At Vita architecture we reached a point where 2D CAD surveys were no longer cutting it. Watch Youtube video (59 seconds) Our projects increasingly required accurate information and Revit compatible 3D models that could be used directly in our workflows. We needed more than 2D drawings we needed a Revit-ready 3D model created from point cloud so our team could get straight to design and coordination. Why Revit modelling from point clouds matters....
