Elevations & Cross Sections

Elevations & Cross Sections for Architectural and Structural Documentation

At GeospatialWorx, we produce Elevations and Cross Sections that accurately represent the vertical geometry and spatial relationships of buildings and sites.
Measured using advanced 3D laser scanning technology, our drawings deliver true-to-life documentation that architects, engineers, and designers can depend on — ensuring every structural and façade element is represented with precision.

What Are Elevations and Cross Sections?

Elevations show the external or internal vertical faces of a building — including façades, openings, materials, and architectural details.
Cross Sections cut through the structure to reveal floor levels, wall construction, ceiling heights, and spatial relationships between key elements.

Together, these drawings form a critical part of design documentation and as-built verification, providing insight into both the visual and technical aspects of a structure.

Why Use Elevations and Sections?

• Design Precision – Develop accurate architectural or engineering drawings from verified data.
• Structural Understanding – Visualise internal relationships and dimensions between floors and walls.
• Façade Documentation – Capture every architectural feature, opening, and material transition.
• Renovation & Retrofit Ready – Ensure future design work starts with reliable measurements.
• Seamless BIM Integration – Compatible with CAD and Revit environments for modelling workflows.

Our Process

1. Site Scanning
We capture detailed 3D data of all exterior and interior elevations using Leica 3D scanners and elevated tripod systems to ensure coverage from ground to roofline.

2. Data Registration
Collected scans and survey data is registered into a single, unified point cloud, ensuring spatial accuracy across all areas and levels.

3. Drafting
From the point cloud, we generate 2D elevation and section drawings, tailored to your project’s level of detail.

4. Delivery
Final deliverables are supplied in PDF & DWG, ready for inclusion in architectural documentation, DA submissions, or design verification packages.
