Amsterdam, Netherlands – May 21, 2025 – At Autodesk DevCon Europe 2025, XGRIDS today unveiled LCC for Revit, a groundbreaking plugin that brings SLAM-based 3D Gaussian Splatting technology directly into Autodesk Revit workflows. This innovation delivers unprecedented 70-90% efficiency improvements in BIM modeling while maintaining survey-grade accuracy.

Spatial Intelligence Meets Industry Reality

The construction industry's rapid embrace of AI technologies is transforming every aspect of design and delivery. As demonstrated by Autodesk's continued AI investments, including the 2023 launch of Autodesk AI, the industry recognizes AI's potential to dramatically enhance productivity for architects, engineers, and developers worldwide.

LCC for Revit capitalizes on this momentum, delivering practical AI-driven solutions that bridge real-world spatial data with intelligent BIM workflows. "The construction industry needs tools that understand both the precision of scan data and the intelligence of BIM workflows, and Autodesk's own research shows 44% of AECO professionals rank productivity as the top AI use-case," said Sunny Liao, Director of Global Business at XGRIDS. "LCC for Revit represents the practical convergence of spatial intelligence and design intent, and delivers that boost inside the tool they live in."

Technical Innovation That Delivers Results

At the core of LCC for Revit lies XGRIDS' proprietary Lixel CyberColor (LCC) technology, which combines LiDAR and visual data with 3D Gaussian Splatting. This fusion enables automated construction of highly realistic 3D spatial models that deliver both photorealistic visualization and geometric precision—addressing the dual requirements of accuracy and immersion critical to construction projects.

Unlike traditional point clouds or mesh models, LCC provides:

True-to-Reality Modeling: LCC automatically generates spatial models that capture both visual fidelity and structural accuracy at the centimeter level from single scanning sessions using XGRIDS' integrated spatial cameras, replacing manual measurement workflows.

Proven Performance Metrics

Extensive project testing across diverse building types demonstrates LCC for Revit's transformative impact:

70-90% efficiency improvement in medium-scale interior space modeling compared to traditional methods
Centimeter-level accuracy consistently maintained across all project types
Elimination of rework cycles through instant visual verification and perspective synchronization
Real-time issue tracking enabling immediate correction during the modeling process
"LCC for Revit doesn't just digitize spaces—it understands them," explained Mindy Li, XGRIDS Product Manager. "Our AI recognizes spatial elements, structural relationships, and spatial hierarchies, transforming raw scan data into intelligent BIM components."

Strategic Market Alignment

Jointly developed by Autodesk and XGRIDS, LCC for Revit aligns with industry trends toward outcome-based BIM powered by accessible, granular data. As construction professionals increasingly seek AI-driven insights for better project outcomes—from carbon reduction to waste minimization—LCC for Revit provides the structured, contextual data necessary to enable these capabilities.

Implementation and Availability

LCC for Revit will be available through the Autodesk App Store by the end of May 2025. The plugin requires Revit 2025 or later and integrates seamlessly with existing XGRIDS workflows.

XGRIDS demonstrates the plugin throughout DevCon Europe, showcasing live workflows from scan capture through final BIM delivery.

Future Implications

LCC for Revit represents more than a workflow improvement—it demonstrates how spatial intelligence can enhance traditional design processes. By maintaining the precision of scan data while enabling the intelligence of parametric modeling, the plugin establishes a foundation for next-generation construction workflows.

As AI continues transforming the AEC industry, solutions like LCC for Revit provide practical bridges between current capabilities and future possibilities. The technology validates the potential for scan data to serve not just as reference material, but as active intelligence within design workflows.
