Room Scan Tips and Tricks
Room Scan is a powerful algorithm that utilizes the LiDAR sensor on the back of your iPhone or iPad Pro model. The built-in algorithm was trained on scanning thousands of interiors, and it does a very good job at recognizing the edges and furniture within the room being scanned.
Typically, as you enter the capturing screen, the UI should give you a good idea on how to efficiently start the capturing process. Overall, it's a very straightforward technology to learn and use, but there are still a few things that can hinder the capturing process, especially when it comes to scanning certain furniture into the floor plan:
- Messy areas: make sure to clean up the messy areas of the room to allow the LiDAR sensor to capture the light and depth details of specific edges or corners.
- Scanning larger rooms can be broken down into scanning multiple smaller areas and combining them together automatically, as long as they have some recognizable overlap.
With those tips in mind, using Room Scan to create floor plans should be very intuitive; happy scanning!
