GoodLife Gym · three pages of drawings, then the 3D Revit modelA real build
Not a demo. A real build.
We gave BuiltOS Desktop three pages of 2D drawings. It built the 3D Revit model of a GoodLife gym by itself, and fixed its own errors.
Three pages in
It builds the 3D Revit model itself, from three pages of a 2D drawing set.
The plan it wrote
Nineteen steps, from levels and datums to fixed equipment.
Structure goes up
Grid, foundations, columns and bracing, then the roof framing.
The envelope closes
Shell, parapet, glazing and doors.
Finished
If Revit asks a question, it answers it. Then the finished model.
Brief
Recorded in BuiltOS DesktopThree pages of a 2D drawing set go in. It reads them and writes its own build brief.
Plan

KFC · finishes on the dining roomFinishes
Real finishes, at real dimensions.
Pick a surface and choose a finish. The raw model is bare; the finishes go on at true size, and each one is written into the model as a material.
- Porcelain 24×24
- Flooring
- Tile
- Paint
- Cladding
At KFC, the dining floor gets grey 24×24 porcelain. The model records who installed it and its warranty.
Subway · Oven 1, its spend and forecast on the modelRun it
Every piece carries its asset record.
The record runs on the same model. At Subway, every table and oven opens its own record.
- Work orders land on the piecethey are about, on the model.
- The CapEx plan reads ages and spendoff the same model.
- A drawing you can turnbecomes where the building is run.
GoodLife Gym · the finished Revit model, 343 elementsWhat you get
The files you get.
The model comes back in the formats your architects and engineers use, and it runs in BuiltOS the same day.

BuiltOSThe same model, with every asset ready to run
Start from IFC, Revit, DXF, a PDF set or a photo of a drawing.

Getting a model, asked and answered
Can I build one from just a PDF set?
Yes. Upload the PDF drawings. BuiltOS traces the walls, you fix anything it got wrong, and it builds a real 3D model (IFC). A phone photo of a paper drawing works too.
Which files can I turn into a 3D model?
Whatever you already have: IFC, Revit .rvt, DXF and CAD plans, PDF drawing sets, plan-sheet images and STEP. Upload it and it comes back as a live, measured 3D model of your building.
How accurate is a model made from drawings?
We check every traced model against the printed drawings. It must fall within a published tolerance. Once it is built, you can measure anything in it yourself. How we measure
Can I change the model myself?
Yes. Move walls, floors, doors and openings yourself. Every edit is saved in the model’s history. Undo a mistake in one click.
Can you build the model for us?
Yes. Send drawings, BIM or plan photos, and we build the finished model. It arrives in your account, yours to keep.
Do I need to be an architect to use it?
No. It is built for the people who own buildings. You work in rooms, assets and finishes, not CAD layers, and the model stays correct underneath.
Do I own the model and its data?
Yes. Geometry, records and finishes belong to whoever owns the building, for its whole life. Export the whole model to IFC at any time; you are never locked in.
Does BuiltOS need a 3D model?
No. BuiltOS works on any building, using QR tags and texts. Add the 3D model, and every asset you track shows up where it really is.
