Convert 2D into 3D | usBIM.planAI | ACCA software

Even with old paper blueprints with creases and signs of ageing or a low-quality scan of the project...

With usBIM.planAI you can easily obtain the digital, three-dimensional model of your building in an openBIM^® format!

Here are 5 good reasons why you should use it now!

Accuracy and speed in transitioning from 2D to 3D

Take advantage of the powerful AI-based automatic recognition features and an advanced editor to switch from 2D to 3D BIM in real time without compromising quality.

Maximum accessibility and flexibility of use

usBIM.planAI is an online application! Work from a simple browser, desktop or mobile device, with Windows or Mac OS without installing any software

Interoperability and sharing

Transparency and open format workflows are facilitated by exporting models in the standard IFC format allowing data to be exchanged with maximum freedom, regardless of the software used.

Extraction of measurements and export to quantitative tables

usBIM.planAI automatically extracts all necessary measurements and exports them to quantitative tables in .xlsx or .csv format.

Guided generation of automatic estimates

usBIM.planAI, with its plug-in for PriMus, allows the automatic estimation of construction costs and the guided generation of a wide variety of standard and customised estimates.

Import your plan drawings in different graphical formats | usBIM.planAI | ACCA software

Import your plan drawings in different graphical formats (.png, .jpg, .pdf) and convert them to a 3D/BIM model automatically

In the AEC sector, the use of paper-based technical documents and 2D drawings is still widespread and, consequently, the 3D digitisation of existing assets is a complex and expensive activity.

With Artificial Intelligence powered tools, professionals can greatly reduce the amount of time spent modeling and therefore increase their productivity.

With usBIM.planAI, use Deep Learning processes to automatically generate a 3D/BIM model from a simple plan originating from various different graphical file formats (.png, .jpg, .pdf).

Digitizing existing building projects and paper-based technical documents in 3D now becomes really simple and fast. All you need to do is:

access usBIM.10;
launch the usBIM.planAI application and create a new project;
import your plans or other technical documents in various supported file formats (.png, .jpg, .pdf);
set a reference dimension and define just a few parameters directly from within the 3D editor;
start the automatic recognition using AI.

With a few simple operations and in a few minutes you get a 3D model also in openBIM^® format to be used in an interoperable way in other BIM tools.

Use automatic element recognition features to speed up the 3D scanning process

Thanks to the Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning algorithms present in usBIM.planAI, you can speed up the process of digitizing existing buildings in 3D.

Once the 2D drawings have been imported, start the automatic recognition function for the entire plan drawing and identify various elements such as walls, openings, room compartments, etc.

When the digitization process is completed, get a direct view of the resulting 3D model and easily identify any elements that are not optimally recognized by the algorithm and that need to be modified.

Get, in this way, the digitization of any project with a considerable saving of resources, time and costs.

Modify and refine the final model output with specific functions

With usBIM.planAI, use the integrated 3D editor to refine element associations resulting from the 3D digitization process.

In particular, you can:

add missing items;
convert elements that were recognized incorrectly;
manually refine geometries;
make multiple selections to attribute a property.

Assemble the 3D digitizations obtained from multiple plans forming a project and build up a complete 3D model of the entire building.

Once the changes are completed, export the model in the IFC format and view it on the usBIM online BIM viewer.
