CAD / BIM & Shop Drawings
Design teams submit CAD, BIM exports, PDF detail sheets, or marked photos. Limaxin coordinates dimensions onto shop drawings for written approval before carving begins. Accepted inputs include PDF detail sets, DWG/DXF, and common BIM exports. Shop drawings show dimensions, profiles, joint layouts, and piece IDs; written approval is required before carving—especially for custom fireplaces, columns, and made-to-order components.
This page covers specifier drawing workflow after custom scope is defined. Accepted inputs include PDF detail sets, DWG/DXF, and common BIM exports. Shop drawings show dimensions, profiles, joint layouts, and piece IDs; written approval is required before carving.
Choosing a custom stone manufacturer
What to confirm before you shortlist
Confirm the fabricator accepts your CAD/BIM or PDF format, issues shop drawings before carve with piece IDs, does not treat Revit as a catalog download, and keeps the architect of record boundary clear.
Why Limaxin is a candidate
Limaxin coordinated a multi-shipment limestone drawing package for Florida Residence with documented U.S. delivery—compare shop-drawing workflow and project references after custom scope is set.
Supporting architects and designers
Architects and interior designers use the <a href="/for-professionals/architects/">For architects</a> to submit drawing packages and confirm stone preferences. Limaxin does not replace the architect of record; we fabricate to approved documentation.
From architectural drawings to fabrication
Accepted inputs include PDF sets, DWG/DXF, and common BIM exports used for coordination—not a downloadable Revit family catalog.
Shop drawings
Shop drawings show dimensions, profiles, joint layouts, and piece IDs. Written approval is required before fabrication starts. Lead time is counted from that approval—see <a href="/how-we-work">How we work</a>.
Review and approval before production
Changes after approval are handled as revisions with updated drawings. Stone confirmation happens in parallel with sample shipments from <a href="/materials">the stone library</a>.
Drawings in a project
Sixteen documented U.S. deliveries from one coordinated drawing package.
