Native Archicad Support

Now Live in Scan2Plan’s As-Built Assurance

Scan2Plan is proud to announce native Archicad deliverables—a first in our As-Built Assurance program.

From now on, every architect working in Archicad can receive models built directly in their environment. No IFC compromises. No post-delivery cleanup. Just open your file and begin design.


Why Archicad Matters:

Archicad has always been more than software. Since its debut in 1987 as one of the first “Virtual Building” tools, it’s carried a philosophy: design freedom first.

  • Smooth drafting + modeling: 2D and 3D flow together without friction.

  • Stable at scale: performance holds, even with complex projects.

  • Smart parametric objects (GDL): expressive, reusable, and consistent.

    Architects choose Archicad because it mirrors how they think. It’s not the industrial toolset of a contractor—it’s the creative conduit of a designer.


Why Native Matters in Scan-to-BIM:

Scans produce point clouds. Models bring them to life. For too long, Archicad users have been handed Revit exports and told to “make do” with IFC files. That approach: Breaks parametric behavior, strips composites / attributes and forces hours of relayering and cleanup.

Native Archicad models eliminate that friction. With direct point cloud integration and modeling inside Archicad, you receive:

  • Your template. Layers, composites, and attributes.

  • Smart objects intact. Doors, walls, windows behave like Archicad elements.

  • Design momentum. The model feels like you built it yourself.


The Scan-to-BIM Spectrum: Where Most Providers Land:

Most providers fall into the first two. We’re in the third.


What You Really Gain:

That difference isn’t small—it’s design freedom: fewer cleanup hours = more creative hours.


At Scan2Plan we believe your tools should should unlock creativity.

Vetting Providers? Ask These Four Questions:

  1. Will the model honor your Archicad template?

  2. Will they declare LoA (Level of Accuracy) & LoD (Level of Development)?

  3. Do they apply detail where it matters, not where it doesn’t?

  4. Can they deliver aligned Revit + Archicad models when projects require both?

If the answer is “we’ll export an IFC”, the cleanup bill is yours
