What Types of 2D CAD Drawings Does GPRS Create?

Site Plans

A site plan, sometimes referred to as a plot plan, is the graphic representation of all existing site conditions. The site plan maps the entire layout of the project site, including the location of buildings, paving, utilities, and terrain features in a single depiction.

Floor Plans

Floor plans show the layout and spatial relationship between rooms, spaces, and elements such as walls, doors, windows, and furniture. Architects, engineers, and builders use floor plans for design and retrofit projects.

Interior Elevations

Interior elevation drawings are 2D drawings that show the interior of a building from various angles. They are used to show the size and shape of a building, as well as the placement of windows, doors, and other features.

Exterior Elevations

Exterior elevation drawings are used to show how a building looks from the outside. They precisely document the outline of a building, and the placement of windows and doors. Design professionals would request as-built exterior elevations to understand how the different levels of a building stack, and how the windows and doors align and are placed.

Sections or Cross Sections

Sections are 2D drawings that show the cutaway view of a building, structure, or object, disclosing details of the internal structure.

Details

Details are 2D drawings that show a specific element of a building, structure, or object enlarged in more detail. The element is scaled for dimensioning and clarification purposes.

Isometric Drawings

An isometric drawing is a representation of a 3D object drawn on a flat plane that mainly contains 2D coordinates – the x and y axes. Although it uses a 2D coordinate system, it gives the illusion that a 3D system is being used. Isometric drawings are made by tilting the viewing angle to 30 degrees for all sides in the 2D plane.

Mechanical and Electrical Drawings

These drawings provide detailed information about the plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and other mechanical systems (MEP) used in a building.

Reflected Ceiling Plan

A reflected ceiling plan shows the outline of the ceilings, the varied ceiling levels, vent locations, and the different types of lighting fixtures.

Why GPRS? The GPRS Difference.

With GPRS, clients can rest assured that our elite Project Managers use state-of-the-art 3D laser scanning technology to document accurate existing conditions information. Every GPRS Project Manager completes an extensive training program to ensure their competence in laser scanning equipment and field knowledge to provide the best possible results for every project.

We use industry-leading Leica survey-grade laser scanners to capture comprehensive point cloud data. In most cases, a 3D laser scan captures 2 million data points per second. The data produced is complete, clean, accurate, and well-filtered with low range noise. Point clouds provide powerful and dynamic information for a project. By representing spatial data as a collection of x, y, and z coordinates, point clouds deliver large datasets that can be mined for information.

Our Mapping & Modeling Team transforms point clouds into 2D CAD drawings, 3D BIM models, 3D meshes, TruViews, and virtual tours of the highest quality standards.

Partnering with GPRS means you receive accurate as-built data, 2D drawings, and 3D models to expedite project planning and reduce change orders, delays, and costs.

GPRS, an industry leading 3D laser scanning company, delivers outstanding service with cutting-edge technology – to keep your projects on time, on budget, and reduce risk.

"[The Technician] did a good job of getting up to speed and working with little or no direction, which helped us concentrate on our other needs on site."

Steve H.

Project Manager

"The scan helped tremendously and has saved us quite a bit of time and trouble."

Gene A.

Mechanical Integrity Engineer

"Thanks for jumping into this assignment so quickly. What a great and productive trip. You guys work tirelessly, non-stop with all aspects of the set-up and execution. Your ability to master the technology is a game changer for us."

Don A.

Executive Vice President, Director of Architecture, Engineering & Technology

"We have been very pleased with the results of the scanning process. The product has been very useful. And has certainly helped in the development of the project. I would certainly use GPRS again on future projects."

John G.

President & Principal Architect

"Our disciplines have been utilizing the Point Cloud and TruView information and it has been of value. We have discovered a few clashes with our structural steel, which may not have ever been caught, so I feel the service has already paid for itself."
