BIM File
Harness the power of DigitTwin models. Transform your spatial data to a LOD 200 building information model (BIM) in .RVT and .DWG format.
DigitTwin BIM File
DigitTwin BIM File is an additional deliverable you can purchase after we scanned your property. The files you receive can be easily imported into Autodesk’s® Revit software. Included in the BIM (Building Information Modeling) package are:
- .RVT file (compatible with Revit 2020 and newer)
- .DWG (Floor Plan)
- .DWG (Reflected Ceiling Plan)
- .IFC (Industry Foundation Class)
The DigitTwin BIM File is for those who work in the AEC space (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction), such as the following:
- Sectors: Commercial, Retail, Data Centers, General Architecture/Design Firms, Engineering Firms, construction companies.
- Beneficiaries: Professionals within organizations responsible for design, construction, project management, acquisitions, and leasing.
Examples
Here’s an example of a residential BIM file:

Processing Times
Processing times do not include weekends and holidays.
| Floor Area of Space (SQFT) | Floor Area of Space (SQM) | Standard Processing Times* (Weekends/holidays excluded) |
| 0-1K | 0-93 | 48-96 hours (2-4 days) |
| 1-5K | 94-464 | 72-120 hours (3-5 days) |
| 5-10K | 464-929 | 96-144 hours (4-6 days) |
| 10-25K | 929-2322 | 120-168 hours (5-7 days) |
| 25-50k | 2322-4645 | 144-264 hours (6-11 days) |
*Processing times are a guide. More complex (dense, detailed) spaces might take additional time to complete.
Order Options
- Architecture (default): Existing conditions of base building architecture, dimensions, and quantities based on black and white point cloud.
- Architecture and Furniture: Architecture plus existing conditions of tables, seating, cabinets, appliances, and some wall fixtures, etc., based on black and white point cloud.
- Architecture and MEP: Architecture plus existing conditions of visible MEP systems, including but not limited to mechanical equipment, piping, plumbing, and electrical outlets based on black and white point cloud.
- MEP and Interior Furniture: Existing conditions of interior architecture, furniture, equipment, and visible MEP systems, including but not limited to mechanical equipment, piping, plumbing, and electrical outlets based on black and white point cloud.
- Complex MEP and Industrial Spaces. Includes generic models of all non-architectural features, as well as visible systems pertaining to mechanical, electrical, and plumbing. This is designed for spaces like mechanical rooms, electrical rooms and spaces, data centers, and industrial type buildings.

How are exterior wall widths determined?
If your model contains only interior scans, it’s not possible to know the width of the exterior walls, so we use a standard size for wall thickness. If you want to include wall measurements specific to your space, make sure to include exterior scans in your model so the wall thickness can be calculated.
Are elevations included in the .DWG file?
No, the DWG is a 2D top-down drawing, like a floor plan. It isn’t a 3D file, so it doesn’t include elevations.
For interiors, exteriors, and roofs, what’s included in the .RVT file?
Elevations are always included. In addition:
- Interior: Everything that’s visible in the point cloud for the requested scope is modeled per LOD 200.
- Exterior: Exteriors are not in the scope of a BIM file. The following items are not included: plants (including trees), vehicles, exterior of the building. The following items can be included if they’re visible in the point cloud: pathways, railings, front porch stairs, and swimming pool.
- Roof: If the roof is visible on the point cloud, the simple geometry will be modeled per LOD 200. The geometry of the roof will be modeled best when there are scanning points from the exterior such that the roof is visible in the point cloud.
These are the building elements included in DigitTwin’s Scan-to-BIM Add-on according to the options you select when purchasing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these files LOD (Level-of-Development) 200?
Yes. Structural and architectural elements meet a LOD 200 specification, although furniture and MEP building information might typically be more representative of LOD 300.
LOD 200 means that any information derived from it must be considered approximate. At this LOD, elements are generic placeholders. They might be recognizable as the components they represent, or they might be representative volumetric placeholders.
Can I get something custom for my BIM file?
We are unable to accommodate customizations.
Are elevations included in the .DWG file?
No, the DWG is a 2D top-down drawing, like a floor plan. It isn’t a 3D file, so it doesn’t include elevations.
