Source review
Confirm scope, accuracy, formats, coordinates and intended use.
Capabilities
Production organized around a usable result
Source data, accuracy and intended use define the workflow. These capabilities can be combined without forcing the project into a fixed package.
Source-file audit
Check versions, linked files, coordinates, units, categories and property coverage in RVT, IFC and DWG data.
Information mapping
Retain the identifiers and properties needed for search, filtering and data links while removing authoring-only content.
Geometry repair
Correct conversion artifacts such as duplicate faces, inverted normals, lost materials and excessive tessellation.
Real-time publishing
Prepare GLB, GLTF, FBX or 3D Tiles with traceable object mapping and a tested loading structure.
Delivery Standard
Acceptance criteria before delivery
Specific values depend on the source data and target environment. Applicable criteria are agreed at the start instead of relying on vague quality labels.
| Typical input | RVT, IFC, DWG, DXF and PDF |
|---|---|
| Primary output | GLB, FBX, OBJ and 3D Tiles |
| Quality focus | Structure retention and real-time performance |
| Asset hierarchy | Objects organized by building, floor, system, equipment or component |
| Runtime fit | Optimization for the target browser, desktop or mobile environment |
| Review method | Pilot approval, milestone previews, issue list and final validation |
Workflow
Approve a pilot before batch production
A representative pilot validates source quality, accuracy, visual language, hierarchy and performance early in the project.
Pilot approval
Lock hierarchy, detail, materials and performance on a representative asset.
Batch production
Model, review and preview assets against the agreed manifest.
Final validation
Verify files, versions, hierarchy, performance and delivery notes.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can a BIM model go directly into a browser?
Usually not. Authoring models often exceed browser geometry, material and object budgets and need information filtering, compression and streaming design.
Can BIM properties remain in a GLB workflow?
Yes. Required component IDs and properties can be mapped separately for search, filtering and data binding.
Can 2D CAD drawings become a 3D model?
Yes when plans are supported by elevations, sections, dimensions or photos. Existing 3D CAD can follow a cleanup and conversion route.
How should a BIM conversion be accepted?
Review component coverage, coordinates, hierarchy mapping, materials, file size, initial loading and performance on the target device.
