CAD reference assessment
Review of source drawings, units, coordinates, levels and information priority.
CAD to BIM
Move approved CAD information into a coordinated BIM workflow.
Craftify converts relevant 2D CAD information into structured Revit models and model-based documentation, helping AV and technology teams participate effectively in BIM-led projects.
Why Craftify
A controlled transition from drawings to model data.
CAD-to-BIM work is not simply importing DWG linework into Revit. The approved information must be interpreted, mapped to suitable families and placed within the current project model using the correct levels, coordinates, hosts and documentation standards.
We begin by confirming which CAD information is authoritative and which elements need to become model objects. We then establish the family, parameter, view and sheet approach required for the project rather than recreating every line without purpose.
The converted model can support coordination, updated drawing production and future revisions. Any discrepancy between the CAD design and current architectural or MEP backgrounds is recorded for project-team review.
Structured modelRelevant CAD information becomes manageable Revit elements and views.
Improved coordinationReview approved layouts against current architectural and MEP conditions.
Model-based updatesUse the resulting model for plans, elevations, schedules and future revisions.
Typical deliverables
What we can produce.
The exact drawing and model package is defined around your standards, project stage and approved technical inputs.
Family mapping
Existing symbols and equipment mapped to approved Revit families or placeholders.
AV element modeling
Relevant devices, racks, pathways or supporting elements placed in the model.
View development
Plans, RCPs, elevations, sections and 3D coordination views as required.
Data organization
Parameters, tags, types and naming aligned with the agreed BIM standard.
Drawing-set output
Model-based sheets and exports prepared for the required review or issue stage.
Working method
A controlled four-step workflow.
Audit
We confirm the authoritative CAD files, Revit model, coordinates, levels and conversion scope.
Map
We define which CAD objects become Revit elements and which families and parameters will be used.
Model
We place the approved information and develop the required model-based views and sheets.
Coordinate
We compare against supplied backgrounds, record discrepancies and complete agreed revisions.

Frequently asked questions
Before we start.
Will every CAD line become a Revit object?
Not necessarily. A useful conversion models the elements needed for coordination and documentation. We agree the conversion scope and required level of detail before production.
Can you use our existing Revit families?
Yes. We can map CAD symbols and equipment to your approved family library and parameter standard. Missing content can be identified separately.
What happens if the CAD and Revit backgrounds do not match?
We record the discrepancy and seek direction from the responsible project stakeholder. We do not silently move approved AV devices or alter engineering intent.
Can you create sheets from the converted model?
Yes. The scope can include model-based plans, RCPs, elevations, sections, schedules and coordination views using the supplied template and standards.
