Structural Steel Scan-to-IFC
PointBIM delivers accurate as-built steel modelling from point-cloud data, producing Tekla-ready IFC files and clean Revit structural models of existing frames. Using closest-matching catalogue profiles, we reconstruct steelwork geometry for alteration, strengthening, and coordination projects. The resulting model provides a reliable digital record of the existing structure — suitable for engineering review, design development, or integration into wider BIM workflows.
Where Steel Scan-to-IFC Adds Value
We can provide as-built steel modelling for:
- Alteration and strengthening projects
- Steel frame refurbishment and extension works
- Industrial buildings and plant environments
- Structural assessments and engineer review
- Coordination with new steelwork and building services
Accurate as-built steel models ensure that design, detailing and coordination work begins with a reliable record of the existing structure as saves time measuring onsite. The Scan-to-IFC workflow provides engineers and fabricators with dependable geometry ready for integration into Tekla and wider BIM processes.
Deliverables We Provide
- Tekla-ready IFC (primary output)
– clean as-built model of the existing steel frame derived from the point cloud. - Revit structural model
