Common challenges that organizations face while converting design files into 3D digital twins are:
- Engineering layouts often live in disconnected design files (DWG, spreadsheets) and are difficult to operationalize.
- Manual conversion is slow, error-prone, and hard to repeat across sites/projects.
- Large 3D scenes can be heavy to render on the web without performance-oriented engineering.
What We Deliver
Automation pipeline (CLI)
- Command-line automation tool to clean, standardize, and convert design inputs into structured, GIS-ready data.
- Ingests DWG and spreadsheet-based metadata.
- Reduces manual conversion and standardizes outcomes.
- Designed to be reused for future sites/projects.
BIM-based asset generation (Autodesk Revit)
- Parametric asset generation using Autodesk Revit families with Level-of-Detail (LOD) control for web performance.
- Template-driven, scalable family generation.
- LOD tuned for fast streaming and interaction.
- Structured metadata to support downstream GIS search/filter.
GIS + 3D content creation (ArcGIS-compatible)
- Geo-tagged scene layers and attribute-rich GIS artifacts to support ArcGIS Online/Enterprise ingestion.
- Geolocated scene layers per asset block.
- Attribute-rich outputs for analysis and filtering.
- Optimized 3D formats suitable for web viewing.
Platform integration + web viewer
- Integration into your existing ArcGIS-based platform and enhancements for navigation and large-scene rendering.
- Searchable, filterable 3D scenes.
- Site layout navigation UI.
- Performance upgrades for large 3D scenes.
Where Autodesk Technologies Fit
Autodesk AutoCAD (DWG as design source)
DWG is treated as a primary design input. An automation layer cleans and standardizes drawing and layout data before downstream conversion and mapping.
Autodesk Revit (parametric asset generation)
Revit is used to generate parametric assets/families and control LOD to ensure the 3D content is optimized for web visualization.
Autodesk Platform Services
If required, the solution can be extended using Autodesk Platform Services (APS) for cloud workflows such as data exchange, automation services, or integrations with other enterprise systems. APS usage depends on your target architecture and platform requirements.
