Accurate volumetric modeling of indoor spaces is essential for emerging 3D cadastral systems, yet existing workflows often rely on manual intervention or produce surface-only models, limiting precision and scalability. This study proposes and validates an integrated, largely automated workflow (named VERTICAL) that converts classified indoor point clouds into topologically consistent 3D solids served as materials for land surveyor’s cadastral analysis. The approach sequentially combines RANSAC-based plane detection, polygonal mesh reconstruction, mesh optimization stage that merges coplanar faces, repairs non-manifold edges, and regularizes boundaries and planar faces prior to CAD-based solid generation, ensuring closed and geometrically valid solids. These modules are linked through a modular prototype (called P2M) with a web-based interface and parameterized batch processing. The workflow was tested on two condominium datasets representing a range of spatial complexities, from simple orthogonal rooms to irregular interiors with multiple ceiling levels, sloped roofs, and internal columns. Qualitative evaluation ensured visual plausibility, while quantitative assessment against survey-grade reference models measured geometric fidelity. Across eight representative rooms, models meeting qualitative criteria achieved accuracies exceeding 97% for key metrics including surface area, volume, and ceiling geometry, with a height RMSE around 0.01 m. Compared with existing automated modeling solutions, the proposed workflow has the ability of dealing with complex geometries and has comparable accuracy results. These results demonstrate the workflow’s capability to produce topologically consistent solids with high geometric accuracy, supporting both boundary delineation and volume calculation. The modular, interoperable design enables integration with CAD environments, offering a practical pathway toward an automated and reliable core of 3D modeling for cadastre applications.
