RoomScan Pro LiDAR floor plans

Been using it to estimate floor area works extremely well . And surprised how the accuracy has improved .

Just trying out the app to see if I want to purchase. I have two Stained-glass Windows in my front room and for both of them the app couldn’t figure out if it was a window or not. It tried to overcompensate on one side to make the window next to it larger and then eliminated the other one and made it more wall space. which completely threw off square footage of the wall I was trying to estimate . Useful but not 100% accurate. I have a rather unusual house so probably more accurate in a normal house. I just thought you might wanna know it does not recognize stained glass windows.

If you take a screenshot they disable the app entirely.

unusable app. it constantly freezes after a scan. once it freezes it corrupts all the previous scans, thus loosing all the work.

This app fills a hole for Symbility users. This has worked for me nearly 100% of the time. With a little practice, you can determine which method works best for you. Using the brick mode is very similar to using the exact mate AR mode. The measurements are accurate and import directly into Symbility and Xactimate. The developers are amazing and responsive. They have added features as requested, like being able to take photos with a room that are exportable in a zip file. The photos are labeled by the room name so you don’t lose track of them. It even has an exterior mode, so you can do a footprint of the house and use that to accurately draw the roof. The only issue seems to be that when imported into Symbility the window heights are not accurate, but the developers are working on that right now. I highly recommend this for anyone who needs to scan a room for accurate measurements and wants to use their mobile device. You can leave the clipboard at home.

Love the price and the accuracy! My biggest complaint is the inability to revise the sketches in Xactimate once you import the ESX file so I’m keeping it at 4 stars until that’s fixed

I subscribed to this exclusivily for xactimate use as it exports in ESX. Wall thinkness seems to default to 1/4" and cannot be changed that I can find. As a result wall thinkness in X8 is 1/4" and if you try and change that X8 prevents it due to overlap of area or block requiring a resize or move. The next problem is the corners. They will be out by 1 or 2 degrees and the corner cannot be changed in X8. If it's a simple square room both the wall corner and thickness can be changed/corrected, but who needs a simple sq room? It seems once the room deviates from a sq you lose the abilty to correct it. It scans great, it's just the result for X8 is near worthless.

I got the premium version yet, I’ve been struggling with this for hours. It would’ve been so much easier to just measure the rooms and draw them. In brick mode It says take more scans if you want more precise, however, the more precise I try to make it the more wavy it makes all the walls. Despite it thinking that a wall is ending somewhere if you try and scan to show, it’s not ending there it will give you errors & just won’t move the wall. When scanning through door openings, it will see part of another room and capture it, but then, when you do that next room and try and join them, it will treat what it saw through the opening as a separate area than the new room. It will not let you delete walls. Some walls it won’t let you even move. It seems you have one option to rotate a room right after it’s made. But once it’s incorrectly added to the drawing it seems that option is gone so I had to delete the room and re add it. They’re also doesn’t seem to be an undo in some parts while there is in other parts. The typical apple shake does not undo anything. Because of the problem I had with it correctly orienting rooms to each other. I tried just a walk-through of a whole floor as a “room”, however, that did not work because it didn’t seem to want to put doors in the middle of this room, so it would ignore the thickness of walls, I went inside new rooms. I have an open concept stairway with a vaulted ceiling, and it seemed to confuse the program. It did not like that I was trying to map the staircase and would not acknowledge that a staircase was there and draw the lines associated with it. When I came to the mid-landing instead of treating it as a staircase landing it tried to move the entire floor of the upper floor, down to the landing, and it would jostle the floor back up the second floor and then back down to the landing it couldn’t figure out what to do. In one scan, I did like 50 precise brick wall scans and at some point it misinterpreted something and the entire room outline rotated by 10° and despite moving the camera around so it could see that the room was not positioned as it was showing it it would not correct itself I had to do multiple undos in order to go back and get it to correct itself. I would think that the LIDAR would see that all these data points are there but just misaligned and just correct itself - but it didn’t. I was looking forward to using this, unfortunately, this just is not working out.

I have tried dozens of times to try and get this app to work properly. It will never connect rooms together through the right door. And once you’re done, scanning the room, there is no way to fix the problem and tell the app which door it got wrong.it is incredibly frustrating, because you have to rescan the room every single time. I hate it.

It worked for about five minutes. I could not measure a room. It stopped working and all I get now is a nag screen.
