Digitize real estate floor plans with the click of a button

From a static 2D floor plan to a digital 3D building in mere minutes

Book a demo presentation
Simple and fast

Upload the 2D floor plan of a building as a PDF or photo (JPEG file) to our PORTER AI module. Thanks to artificial intelligence, a 3D model of the object is generated in no time and is immediately accessible to all project stakeholders.

Saves you measurable time and money

Time is money: Make your business processes more efficient. Save an enormous amount of time by converting floor plans from 2D to 3D – along with external costs for digitizing floor plans.

Collaborative instead of an isolated solution

The 3D model can be used in the BIM process. Follow-up processing can be performed if needed to make modifications, e.g. with Revit. Using this data, other players can seamlessly continue to work on the project.

Whether for new projects or existing properties – the future is digital

Digitized property floor plans mean savings in costs and time, crisis-proof collaboration and data protection – in short: the future. Unproductive time spent on floor plan management and processing is a thing of the past. All of the details and prerequisites for floor plan conversion can be found in our FAQs.

What if the digitized building also needs interior finishing and material selection?

Then use our PORTER software platform and purchase the user license that suits you best. With PORTER, you can explore, experience and select materials for real estate projects digitally and in true-to-life scale – as early on as in the design and planning stage!

All information about PORTER is available here.

Who is floor plan digitization with PORTER suitable for?

Floor plan digitization through the PORTER AI module (AI = artificial intelligence) is suitable for all companies in the construction and real estate industries with analog or digital 2D floor plans that they would like to view in 3D – quickly converted and in a simple display mode.

The result, meaning the 3D floor plan that is created after data is uploaded, can be processed by this user group with conventional 3D programs, such as Revit or SketchUp.

PORTER and its AI module for floor plan digitization are relevant for B2B customers, such as

  • Project developers
  • Property developers
  • Renovation contractors
  • Investors
  • Product manufacturers
  • Residential construction companies
  • Real estate appraisal companies
  • Facility manager
  • Property manager
  • Portfolio manager
  • Property surveyors
  • Proprietors
  • Property & land registration offices
  • Banks
    etc.

If you belong to one of the user groups and would like individual, personal consultation, please write to us using our request form.

A floor plan shows an apartment or a floor of a building.

Our software currently supports PNG, PDF and JPEG files. DFX files are about to be implemented. A special rule applies to PDF files: They can only be one page long. If a PDF has multiple pages, we only process the first page.

In principle, our module can also process hand-drawn floor plans – provided that they meet the standards of a professional floor plan. If this is not the case, the result may be a lower-quality 3D model or the conversion may fail completely.

That’s simple: Either take a focused picture that is as high resolution as possible, or – and this is even better – scan the floor plan. Then upload the result, either as a JPEG or PNG file.

There are several options:

  • The floor plans should have as few reference lines as possible
  • There should ideally be a good contrast between the background and walls
  • The image should be free of errors, meaning it is focused, clear and has no effects resulting from scanning (such as shadows or noise)
  • The floor plan should show just one apartment or one floor – not multiple apartments or multiple floors
  • The floor plan should be aligned so the walls are as horizontal and vertical as possible.

What can be displayed are:

  • Walls (exception: sloped walls are sometimes not optimally recognized, rounded elements are currently not supported at all)
  • Windows (exception: there is still no differentiation between standard windows and window façades)
  • Floors
  • Ceilings (exception: ceiling height is not currently adjustable)
  • Room recognition

 

What currently cannot be displayed are:

  • Balconies
  • Outdoor areas
  • Staircases
  • Electrical wiring and water pipes
  • The linking of floors (needs to be performed manually in a 3D program)
  • Roof slopes
  • Furniture (shortly before implementation)

Yes, after successful transformation, the 3D floor plans can be subsequently processed and used in programs, such as Revit or SketchUp, in the BIM process.

www.grundrisse-digitalisieren.de takes care of the typically time-consuming task of converting the 2D files into 3D models. This saves users a tremendous amount of work and time.

No. XCYDE GmbH (which developed PORTER) only generates a preview. If the floor plan has what are known as ground truth features, it is imperative to process it with Revit, SketchUp or a similar program. XCYDE does not currently offer this type of processing.

The digitized floor plans initially display a 3D model of the property. This can be experienced from an exterior perspective and/or a first-person perspective. Moreover, these non-complex 3D floor plans serve as the basis for further processing and correction using 3D programs. While the 3D floorplans that we convert from 2D provide an authentic impression of the property, they do not reflect the dimensions or scale in an absolutely true-to-life manner. The ground truth of the property is not generated.

Decide which license model suits you best. The contract is concluded for a year, the models vary based on the number of floor plans that are digitized. It’s possible to switch to the next package up.

The floor plan conversion that is offered by www.grundrisse-digitalisieren.de is a module of the PORTER software platform and, in a way, its basis.

On www.grundrisse-digitalisieren.de, the sole function is to convert a 2D floor plan into a 3D model and to make it available to users for downloading, while PORTER as a whole offers a much broader and more extensive range of applications:

  • The graphic quality of PORTER is better
  • With PORTER, it is not only possible to view and tour the property, but to also select materials for it using real manufacturer product databases (for interior finishing / configuration)
  • PORTER brings together technologies such as virtual reality, augmented reality (currently being implemented) and cloud streaming (which means visualization works on any end device as long as the corresponding internet connection is available)
  • 3D data can be imported into PORTER.

We exclusively process our users’ data in Europe.

The servers for data processing are located exclusively in Germany.

The floor plans that are uploaded to www.grundrisse-digitalisieren.de simultaneously train our artificial intelligence (of course anonymously), which “recognizes” the data and converts 2D floor plans into 3D models.

Information on data protection when using our website is available here: https://www.xcyde.io/en/data-privacy/

No. Only successful conversions are subtracted from the specified number.
