Building Twin 3D

An explorable 3D model of your building, traced in the app over your own PDF floor plans — no CAD, no BIM, no survey crew. Unit volumes are colored by live compliance status, and pins mark open repairs, inspections due, equipment due and work orders, so the building’s state is something you can see.

Available Every tier

What Building Twin 3D does

Trace it yourself, from a floor plan

Upload a floor-plan PDF, trace the footprint and units with rectangle and polygon tools, calibrate the scale with one line, and duplicate repeating floors. An assist can suggest unit outlines from the plan — a person confirms every trace.

Live status on the massing

Every unit volume is colored by its live compliance status, with pins for open repairs, inspections due, equipment due, reminders and work orders — floor slicing, unit isolation and search included.

Common areas and the campus view

Typed common-area zones — pools, lobbies, mechanical rooms — plus a campus view where multiple buildings arrange on one site.

Click-to-place operations data

Work orders and building equipment carry a 3D location placed by clicking the model — the maintenance pin layer turns “where is that pump” into a picture.

An optional realistic shell

A visual exterior can be layered over the schematic model, and with LeakCheck active the model shows live wet units and leak history.

How it works

  1. Upload the floor plan and trace footprint and units — an hour of tracing, not a CAD engagement.
  2. Calibrate scale, duplicate repeating floors, place common areas, publish.
  3. The model colors itself from live data — status, repairs, due dates, work orders.
  4. Managers navigate visually: isolate a unit, slice a floor, click through a pin straight to the record behind it.

Connects to the rest of HelmHOA

HelmHOA modules share one data spine — nothing below is an export or a re-key. With Building Twin 3D enabled:

  • UnitCheck — unit volumes are colored by the live status engine.
  • WorkCheck — work orders and equipment carry click-to-place locations.
  • LeakCheck — the leak layer shows live wet units on the model.
  • GateCheck — the reception desk picks visit destinations on a lean viewer.

Pricing

Building Twin 3D is included in every HelmHOA tier. One flat price per association covers it — nothing is sold separately, and there are no per-seat fees.

Every free 30-day trial is full-package — you can try Building Twin 3D with your own building’s data before any decision.

Good to know

  • Schematic visualization — not to survey or engineering accuracy. It is a working model for operations, not a CAD/BIM deliverable, and every surface says so.
  • The 3D viewer requires WebGL2, and authoring is best on a desktop.
  • The floor-plan assist suggests — a person confirms every trace before it exists.
