2D to 3D Conversions

When a project starts with traditional 2D drawings but requires true 3D coordination, BIMWerx helps bridge the gap with detailed, information-rich models built for the coordination process.

From 2D Drawings to Coordinated BIM

Turning 2D Project Information Into Usable 3D Models

In today’s AEC environment, not all architects and engineers are up to speed on modeling in a 3D platform. Frequently, the team with the best experience and lowest fees is still doing old two-dimensional drawings. This meets their contract requirements, but what happens when the owner, construction manager, or general contractor wants more than just 2D CAD drawings?

What happens if the trade partners have all agreed to do 3D coordination on the project, but you can’t seem to get the architecture or structure modeled by a trade contractor? Enter BIMWerx.

What BIMWerx Models

Detailed Models Built for Real Coordination

BIMWerx has a ton of experience modeling all major trades, including mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, architecture, and structure. We model the architecture the way it was intended, with actual information that can be utilized during the coordination process.

Architecture Wall types, fire ratings, STC ratings, UL numbers, material thicknesses, floors, ceilings, and key design information.
Structure Actual sizes within naming conventions, structural materials, and even CMU walls indicated as grouted solid when known.
Mechanical Ductwork properly insulated and internally lined as specified, with mechanical piping insulation included.
Plumbing Gravity piping sloped as specified and insulation added per the specification to support a stronger coordination model.
Why It Matters

More Than a Model — Better Project Information

Anything that BIMWerx knows will help the coordination process, we include. That means the model is not just a visual replacement for 2D drawings. It becomes a useful coordination tool that helps the project team understand systems, identify conflicts, and communicate more clearly before field work begins.

Plumbing seems to be one of those trades that never seems to be modeled correctly, even when coming directly from the engineer. BIMWerx takes the time to slope all gravity pipe as specified and add insulation per the specification, helping the model better reflect how the systems need to work in the field.

Supports 3D Coordination Convert 2D project documents into models that can support clash detection and coordination meetings.
Improves Team Understanding Give owners, contractors, and trade partners better visibility into the project before installation starts.
Adds Useful Data Include project information that supports coordination instead of building a model that only looks correct visually.
Reduces Coordination Gaps Help project teams move forward when architecture, structure, or trade models are missing or incomplete.

Ready to Turn 2D Drawings Into Better Coordination?

Bring BIMWerx into the process early and give your project team a stronger model, clearer information, and a better path toward coordination before construction issues reach the field.
