ARCHICAD: Swiss B2B 3D modelling service
At 3D Scan Bat, we are a key partner for architectural offices in Switzerland. We specialise in building surveys using 3D laser scanners, and transform this data into BIM models optimised for ARCHICAD. This software, widely used by architecture professionals, enables us to deliver fast, accurate results. As a B2B company, we work with architects' offices, offering them tailor-made solutions for every project, whether complex or standard.
ARCHICAD and 3D surveys: a complete solution for Swiss architects
In Switzerland, more and more architectural practices are integrating BIM into their processes. At 3D Scan Batour expertise in the 3D scanner survey for modelling on ARCHICAD. By delivering accurate models that can be used directly in native formats, we enable architects to save timeThis enables them to improve their efficiency and make decisions based on reliable data. Our 100 % B2B approach guarantees tailor-made services, adapted to the most demanding professional requirements.
A tailor-made B2B service for architects
We focus on the specific needs of architectural practices. By understanding their expectations, we provide services tailored to each project. Our 3D laser scanner surveys offer unrivalled accuracy. This accuracy is essential to ensure successful modelling. What's more, we cover the whole of Switzerland, including Vaud, Valais, Geneva, Fribourg, Neuchâtel and Jura. We are committed to providing a fast, reliable and efficient service.
3D laser scanner: precision technology
3D laser scanner is at the heart of our business. It captures millions of points in a very short space of time. Thanks to this technology, we are able to obtain highly accurate surveys. This data is essential for modelling buildings in ARCHICAD. The speed and accuracy of this method means that architects can work with reliable data right from the start of their project. Whether for new buildings or renovations, our surveys are accurate, even for complex structures.
ARCHICAD and BIMmTool: a powerful synergy
We use ARCHICAD with the BIMmTool plug-in to convert point clouds into BIM models. This technological combination ensures optimum integration of the surveys into the architects' work processes. ARCHICAD's native files facilitate the transition between data capture and modelling. Thanks to this method, architects benefit from a smooth transition from data to complete models.
From data capture to usable BIM model
At 3D Scan Bat, we go beyond simple data capture. We transform point clouds into BIM models ready to use. This allows architects to visualise the project accurately from the very first stages. This process helps to anticipate potential problems. It also optimises costs and saves time. Our models are designed to be easily integrated into architects' workflows.
Comprehensive cover in Switzerland
We operate in several cantons, including Vaud, Valais, Geneva, Fribourg, Neuchâtel and Jura. This presence means we can respond quickly to requests for surveys. Our team is ready to travel to take precise measurements, whatever the environment or the difficulty of the project. Whether it's a new building or a renovation project, we have the tools and expertise to guarantee reliable, detailed surveys.
A commitment to quality and precision
Our commitment is to provide accurate and reliable data within the agreed timescales. We understand that accuracy is crucial to the success of an architectural project. That's why every detail is carefully recorded and modelled. By working with architects' offices, we ensure that the quality of our work is beyond reproach. We combine our expertise in 3D laser scanning with our mastery of ARCHICAD to deliver results that live up to our customers' expectations.
Seamless integration of 3D surveys in Archicad: our working method
Once the point cloud captured by our Leica RTC360 or BLK360 scanners, we start processing the data. Thanks to the BIMmTool plug-in integrated into Archicad, we can segment, classify and model architectural elements according to their typology (walls, windows, floors, roofs, etc.). This precision makes it possible to faithful reproduction of the existingby preserving the actual geometry of the building, including its irregularities.
We then deliver a structured Archicad fileThis model can be used for the rest of the project: thermal studies, structural simulations, renovation or conversion plans. This model can be used for the rest of the project: thermal studies, structural simulations, renovation or conversion plans. Working with native formatsWe avoid any loss of data linked to exports and ensure a high level of security. optimum interoperability in the architectural office's BIM processes.
Finally, our knowledge of the Swiss terrain enables us to understand the issues specific to each canton: heritage constraints, local regulations, typological particularities. This local perspective is a real asset for relevant modelling.
Why outsource Archicad modelling to a 3D survey expert?
At 3D Scan BatWe are not simply scanner operators. We understand the purpose of your data. By combining our technical skills in 3D acquisition with our perfect mastery of Archicad software, we can deliver you a ready-to-use modelthat can be used as soon as it is received. This avoids time-consuming round-trips, misinterpretations and incomplete zones.
We work with you from the quotation stage onwards, to precisely define the level of detail expected (LOD) and choose the most cost-effective solution depending on the surface area to be modelled, the type of building or the purpose of the project. This collaborative approach ensures a result that meets your needs, without exceeding your budget or deadline.
Enriched BIM data and visual documentation: key added value
In addition to the BIM model, we also provide a full photo documentation (360° panoramas, interior/exterior views) and a integrated virtual tour via ATIS-CLOUD. These visual aids facilitate remote validation, dialogue with clients and coordination with other trades. In some cases, we also supply integrated annotations in Archicad to point out atypical elements or elements that are not visible on site (setbacks, technical installations, materials, etc.).
These elements will enable your team to an immediate understanding of the siteeven without physically visiting the site, while improving the accuracy of preliminary designs.
