📱 How to Scan Your Floor Plan with LiDAR on iPhone/iPad

You can use any Lidar 3D scanning app you are familiar with, but we do recommend using the one we have tested here ->
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/3d-scanner-app/id1419913995

What You Need:

  • iPhone 12 Pro or newer, or iPad Pro (with LiDAR)

  • The free app: 3D Scanner App (download from the App Store), or any other 3d scanning app you are familiar with. PolyCam, Canvas, Kiri etc.

  • Prepare the property before scanning:

    • Open blinds and doors

    • Turn on all lights

    • Clear major obstructions (like chairs or boxes)

    • Plan your scanning route ahead of time for smooth coverage

Step 1: Choose the LiDAR Scan Mode

Open the 3D Scanner App, and select Scan Mode > LiDAR or LiDAR Advanced to start scanning with your device’s depth sensor.

👉 Tip: “LiDAR Advanced” gives slightly better results for interior rooms but you need to know what you are doing.
Otherwise the standard Lidar is sufficient for standard floor plans.

Step 2: Walk and Capture the Entire Floor Area

Move slowly around each room. The app will map walls, furniture, and floors as you move. When done, tap Process Scan.

  • Select HD mode for highest accuracy

  • It will process textures and create a color 3D scan

  • Wait for the scan to finish processing

Step 3: Export the Scan as a Point Cloud (E57)

  1. Go to Scans > Select your scan > Share Model

  2. Choose Point Cloud

  3. Then select E57 format (best for us)

  4. Enable:

    • ✅ Zip Files

    • ✅ Z-axis up

    • 🔲 Optional: choose High Density

⚠️Optional: Instead of E57, you can also choose “All Data” and send us the zipped folder. This includes all raw scan data and images for highest flexibility. Mind that the file size is quite large. It’s best for 3D Floor Plans.

Step 4: Send Us the File

Once you’ve exported your scan (as E57 or All Data):

  1. Upload the zipped file to Dropbox, Google Drive, or your preferred cloud storage.

  2. Create a shareable link with anyone-access permission.

  3. Paste the link into the upload field on our order form when placing your order.

🔒 We recommend using Google Drive or Dropbox to ensure a fast and reliable upload.

📁 Keep Your Scan Safe

Please note that your scan remains saved on your device until you manually delete it. You own the scan and nobody else. We recommend naming each scan clearly (e.g., “Smith St Unit 2”) so it's easy to locate later. For your convenience and peace of mind, keep the scan on your device until you've received the final floor plan and confirmed everything looks correct. This ensures we can quickly assist with any adjustments or ask for a reupload the scan, if needed.
