Integrating As-Built Conditions into Revit: A Plugin-Powered Workflow

In the evolving world of Building Information Modeling (BIM), integrating accurate as-built conditions directly into your Revit workflow is no longer a luxury—it’s a competitive edge. During our recent webinar, Prevu3D experts Jay Ure (Director of Customer Success) and Phil Bedard (Product Manager) unpacked how our Revit plugin simplifies this crucial integration.

What You’ll Learn in the Webinar

This 30-minute session covers:

• How Prevu3D’s plugin integrates directly into the Revit interface

• Step-by-step workflows for point cloud and mesh import

• Best practices for modeling from as-built conditions

• Real-world use cases from EPCs and engineering teams

The plugin doesn’t just accelerate modeling—it also improves coordination between teams by ensuring that everyone’s working from the same ground truth.

The Power of the Plugin: Streamline Scan-to-BIM Workflows

Revit users often face hurdles when trying to incorporate field-accurate reality capture into their models. Our plugin bridges that gap by enabling seamless import of point clouds and mesh data into Revit—creating a unified environment for modeling, validation, and collaboration.

“The bigger challenge users have is figuring out how they want to utilize the plugin to best suit their project goals.”
— Jay Ure, Director of Customer Success

What You See:
How to manually isolate and model a single pipe using mesh creation tools. The process involves designing the pipe geometry, saving it as a reusable asset, and preparing it for export or further coordination.

Features Highlighted:

• Manual mesh creation

• Asset saving and reuse

• Quick modeling for isolated components

Purpose:
To accelerate the modeling of individual pipes—ideal for retrofit or inspection workflows where isolated edits are needed.

“The video I’m showing now is a single pipe mesh creation… and this workflow really highlights how fast and lightweight this modeling process becomes using scan data.”
— Phil Bedard, Product Manager

What You See:
A large set of interconnected pipes is modeled using a combination of mesh selection and grouping tools. The demo shows how to handle more complex geometries without overwhelming the user interface.

Features Highlighted:

• Multi-pipe selection and grouping

• High-density scan data management

• Streamlined mesh generation for networks

Purpose:
To demonstrate how the plugin supports scalability and speed, even with dense piping networks—critical for EPCs managing process-intensive facilities.

What You See:
Structural columns are modeled directly from point cloud references. The workflow highlights the alignment, sizing, and asset structuring of key vertical supports in a building model.

Features Highlighted:

• Alignment with point cloud data

• Consistent sizing and placement

• Structured model asset generation

Purpose:
To provide a precise method for bringing real-world structural data into design environments, improving downstream coordination.

What You See:
Assets are exported and imported into Revit using the Prevu3D plugin. Viewers see how assets are inserted into a Revit family, repositioned, and edited using native Revit tools—maintaining fidelity to the real-world scan.

Features Highlighted:

• Native Revit plugin interface

• Family editing and placement

• Seamless asset transfer

Purpose:
To close the loop between 3D scanning and Revit modeling, enabling a true scan-to-BIM workflow.

Why It Matters

By leveraging field-accurate data directly inside Revit, teams can reduce costly rework, improve design precision, and align more closely with construction reality. Whether you’re executing small renovations or coordinating massive infrastructure projects, this plugin is designed to scale with your needs.
