How to Start a Space Mode Capture
1. Select Space Mode: On the home screen, tap the + button to start a new capture. Choose Space from the list of capture options.
2. Start the Capture: Position yourself at one end of the room and aim your device towards the bottom corner of a wall.
Tap the white button in the middle of the screen to begin scanning.
3. Move slowly for Accurate Scanning: To capture both the 3D floorplan and the room, move slowly around it.
-
As the LiDAR scan is capturing data, you’ll see the blue grid disappear from the screen, indicating that the area has been scanned.
-
You should also see a white line outlining walls and objects, indicating that a 3D floor plan is being generated.
4. Scan the Top of the Walls and Ceiling: Be sure to scan the top of the walls and ceiling as well, so the app can properly capture the full 3D scan of the space.
5. Coverage of the Entire Space: Move around the room at a steady pace so both the walls and furniture are fully captured.
6. Finish the Scan: Once you’ve scanned the entire space, tap the Done button to end your session. The app will process the capture and generate both the LiDAR and Floorplan data.
