Convert AVEVA E3D civil models into Allplan objects

Bring E3D civil geometry and data into Allplan without rebuilding walls, slabs, and related elements manually.

AVEVA E3D

Allplan

How can an E3D civil model become usable in Allplan?

Seeing E3D geometry in Allplan is only a first step. Teams need native, editable Allplan objects to develop the model and produce reliable deliverables.

The usual approaches

IFC export and generic primitives

An IFC import displays the geometry and retains some properties. The elements remain generic: they do not become native Allplan walls, slabs, and other objects that teams can edit and use in deliverables.

Manual remodelling

Manual remodelling recreates every wall, slab, and opening in Allplan. It takes specialist time, extends delivery schedules, and must be repeated whenever the E3D model changes.

ModelSwap: a structured conversion workflow

ModelSwap converts E3D geometry and data into native Allplan objects. The resulting walls and slabs remain editable in Allplan and ready for project deliverables.

How ModelSwap works

ModelSwap maps E3D geometry and data to the Allplan target model.
