ViBIM specializes in developing precise, project-tailored Revit families derived from Point Cloud data, ensuring accurate geometric representation, appropriate category assignment, and full adherence to project-specific LOD and LOI parameters. These families conform to industry standards, facilitating seamless incorporation into the Revit model and enhancing downstream coordination and documentation workflows.
ViBIM specializes in providing expert Revit Family Creation services, an essential element of our comprehensive Scan to BIM workflow. We proficiently convert precise Point Cloud data into accurate, intelligent, and project-specific Revit families. For projects involving existing buildings where standard libraries prove insufficient, ViBIM offers custom loadable Revit families spanning a broad range of components, including architectural elements (such as doors and windows), structural members, and intricate MEP systems (including pumps, panels, lighting fixtures, and mechanical equipment).
Our dedicated BIM specialists meticulously develop each family based on detailed measurements directly extracted from scan data. We ensure full compliance with the project’s specified Level of Detail (LOD) and Level of Information (LOI), incorporating key parameters such as dimensions, material codes, type designations, and manufacturer data. Adhering to industry standards and maintaining precise geometry within defined tolerances relative to the scan, our Revit families accurately represent as-built conditions while optimizing model performance, parametric adaptability, and seamless integration into BIM workflows.
ViBIM’s family creation methodology guarantees that each modeled component satisfies both technical specifications and visual quality requirements, facilitating efficient downstream applications in design development, renovation planning, or digital twin construction. Whether for architectural, structural, or MEP disciplines, our families provide the detailed realism and data richness necessary for an intelligent and robust BIM model.
ViBIM delivers a dedicated suite of Revit Family Creation services, carefully tailored to meet the specific requirements of Scan to BIM projects. We convert raw Point Cloud data into intelligent, parametric, and project-specific Revit families that faithfully represent as-built conditions.
We develop accurate 3D Revit families—encompassing components such as doors, windows, unique architectural details, MEP equipment, and structural elements—directly derived from high-accuracy scan data. All families are produced in strict compliance with client-specific BIM standards, industry best practices, established naming conventions, and standardized shared parameter schemes.
Family geometries are crafted to conform precisely to defined Levels of Detail (LOD), typically spanning from LOD 100 through LOD 500, to ensure that the models provide the suitable granularity required for visualization, coordination, and analytical purposes.
Key information—including dimensions, material specifications, manufacturer details, model identifiers, and operational parameters—is systematically integrated into each family to fulfill the required Level of Information (LOI). For complex projects with extensive parameterization and multiple families, ViBIM implements automated workflows to embed data efficiently and consistently.
Revit families are correctly assigned to their respective categories (such as Doors, Windows, Mechanical Equipment), and appropriate hosting and placement behaviors are defined to guarantee seamless integration and operational functionality within the BIM environment.
Families are constructed with parametric controls and constraints to facilitate easy modification, adaptability, and reuse across diverse projects, ensuring flexibility without compromising data integrity.
Each family undergoes rigorous quality assurance and quality control protocols, including detailed verification of geometric tolerances against the original Point Cloud data, ensuring reliability, precision, and adherence to project requirements.
In Scan to BIM projects, the creation of custom Revit families is essential to ensure model precision, coordination, and practical functionality. Transforming Point Cloud data into fully operational BIM components, Revit Family Creation Services offer key benefits to your projects:
Precise Modeling of Actual Site Components: Families are developed directly from Point Cloud data, delivering geometry that accurately represents real-world conditions.
Compliance with LOD and LOI Requirements: Families adhere to project-specific Levels of Detail (LOD) for geometric fidelity and Levels of Information (LOI) for embedded data such as dimensions, materials, classifications, and manufacturer metadata, all aligned with project specifications.
Correct Categorization and Functional Behavior: Proper category assignment enables families to perform appropriately within views, schedules, filters, and Clash Detection workflows, enhancing multidisciplinary BIM coordination.
Automated Documentation and Scheduling: Embedded parameters facilitate efficient production of drawings, legends, and quantity takeoffs, streamlining project documentation.
Improved Consistency and Reusability: Standardized family development promotes uniform modeling practices and reduces effort by enabling families to be reused or adapted across projects.

ViBIM’s Proprietary Quality Framework: Utilizing our specialized Scan to BIM expertise to guarantee geometric precision and data integrity from Point Cloud input through to finalized family creation.
Client-Specific Standards: Customizing outputs to adhere to client-defined naming conventions, shared parameter libraries, classification systems (such as Uniclass, OmniClass, or bespoke frameworks), and other project-specific mandates to ensure smooth integration within client workflows.
The provided Point Cloud data is thoroughly reviewed to identify specific elements necessitating custom Revit family creation. This typically includes non-standard or bespoke components such as specialized doors, windows, furniture, fixtures, and unique MEP equipment.
ViBIM determines the most suitable modeling approach by evaluating component type, complexity, and desired Revit behavior (e.g., hosted, standalone, parametric). For unique, non-hosted elements, modeling is performed in-place directly from Point Cloud data before converting them into loadable families. Components requiring particular hosting or parametric control—such as doors and windows—are created within the Revit Family Editor using precise scan measurements to ensure accurate functionality and data fidelity.
Using appropriate Revit family templates, clean and precise geometry is developed. Reference planes are established, parametric dimensions configured, and essential instance and type parameters—including size, material, and product data—are integrated.
Each family is accurately assigned to the correct Revit category (e.g., Doors, Windows, Mechanical Equipment, Electrical Fixtures). Hosting conditions are defined, such as wall-based, face-based, or work plane-based hosting, alongside configuration of associated behaviors like opening cuts where applicable.
Completed families are loaded into the Scan to BIM Revit model and placed using original reference points to ensure precise alignment with the Point Cloud data. Functionality and integration are thoroughly tested in the live project environment.
Final QA/QC processes verify geometric tolerances, parameter naming conventions, category assignments, and adherence to client-specific standards. Families are revised as necessary based on review outcomes, fully documented, and prepared for formal handover.

Mr.Brode:
“Hi Thanh,
Yes I have, there are more coming soon from this client in the next two weeks. Thank you for your excellent work on that project.
There are actually two other large jobs I need to get your assistance with both of which we have already won (pricing is for additional works so there is no bid process).
If I supply plans for Hospital projects tomorrow with photos would you be able to help in pricing these works? We met with the client today and am trying to get them free proposal next week. I apologise for the short notice, it is also short notice for us! Deliverables will be the same as those at lastest project that you priced previously.
I will send more info tomorrow.
Thank you”
Mr.Rad:
“Hi Yen, Tung and Thanh
Thank you so much for your work on project
The model you have delivered is incredible!
I was just wondering how many hours you think it would take to model up some of the surrounding buildings in LOD 200
The purpose is to capture the elevations of some of the surrounding buildings that are facing our building project.
It wouldn't need to be anything super detailed, just enough to capture the height of the buildings, their windows and openings and that sort of detail.
I know some of the data around these buildings are a little bit sparse so we understand that it may be difficult to model completely for some of the buildings
If you could let me know the hours it would take to model each building that would be great!”
Mr.Wa:
“Good morning Son,
I have now checked the model and I am happy that it is complete. There were a few amends that were done internally but the model looks great, thanks.
Kind regards”
Mr.Dan:
