How It Works

Scan to 3D in Three Steps

Turn any room into a precise, editable 3D model with iPhone LiDAR. No measuring tape, no design skills, no cloud — everything runs on-device.

01Step One

Scan with LiDAR

Open the app and walk slowly around the room. Your iPhone's LiDAR sensor and ARKit RoomPlan map walls, doors, windows, openings and furniture in real time, with live on-screen guidance steering you toward a complete capture.

02Step Two

Auto Floor Plan & 3D Model

The moment you finish, Lidar Scanner generates a clean 2D top-down floor plan and a parametric USDZ model — complete with room dimensions and total floor area. No manual drafting, no waiting on a server.

03Step Three

Edit & Export

Fine-tune the plan in the interactive editor — fix geometry, label rooms, and place furniture across three dedicated modes. When it looks right, export to the format your workflow needs and share through the iOS share sheet.

Object Capture — Scan a Single Object

A separate flow for capturing individual objects in detail. Instead of mapping a room, you orbit a subject and your iPhone reconstructs a textured 3D model locally with Apple's Object Capture — no internet needed during reconstruction.

How It Works

Choose Object Capture, set your subject on a flat surface, and slowly orbit it while the app captures photos automatically. When you finish, your iPhone builds a photogrammetry-ready, textured 3D model on-device. The result lands in the same library as your room scans, ready to preview and export to USDZ or a textured mesh.

Tips for Great Scans

Use Even Lighting

Bright, even light helps the sensor read surfaces cleanly. Avoid dim rooms and strong glare from windows or mirrors.

Move Slowly & Steadily

A slow, smooth pace gives RoomPlan time to lock onto walls and furniture. Rushing leaves gaps the editor has to fix.

Cover Every Corner

Walk the full perimeter and pan up and down. Capturing each corner and opening produces a complete, accurate plan.

Mind Glass & Mirrors

Large mirrors and glass can confuse depth sensing. Approach them slowly and re-scan that area if geometry looks off.

Pick the Right Mode

Use Standard for a quick layout and High-Fidelity when you need maximum detail for documentation or CAD.

Enable Location

Allowing location while scanning tags the plan with a true-north heading and address, so it is correctly oriented.

Common Questions

How long does a room scan take?
Most rooms take well under a minute to capture. The floor plan and 3D model are generated on-device the instant you finish, so there is no upload or processing wait.
Which iPhones and iPads can scan?
You need a device with Apple's LiDAR sensor: iPhone 12 Pro / Pro Max or any newer Pro model, and iPad Pro from 2020 onward. RoomPlan room scanning requires iOS or iPadOS 16 or later. Standard iPhones without LiDAR are not supported.
Do I need an internet connection?
No. Scanning, floor-plan generation, editing and reconstruction all run on your device. You only need a connection if you choose to sync to iCloud or share an export.
How accurate are the scans?
iPhone LiDAR captures room geometry to within a few centimeters under good conditions — accurate enough for floor plans, furniture layout, real-estate listings and as-built documentation. Use High-Fidelity mode and even lighting for the most precise results.
Can I edit the floor plan after scanning?
Yes. The interactive editor has three modes — Geometry to correct walls and shapes, Labels to name rooms, and Objects to place furniture — with undo/redo, grid snap, and live measurements.
How is Object Capture different from room scanning?
Room scanning (RoomPlan) maps an entire space into editable parametric geometry. Object Capture is a separate flow for a single object: you orbit the subject and the iPhone reconstructs a detailed, textured 3D model locally. Both keep everything on-device.
