Creating ROOM MODELS from Phone Lidar Scans! (New App Update!)

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Hi everyone! Let me know what you think about Polycam's room mode in the comments below! :)

[@andrewmcintosh4043]

This feature has been extremely helpful when visualizing changes that I want to make in a remodel. Thanks for the video!

[@stuartdelamare4072]

Looks awesome 👍🏼🇬🇬

[@Vojan1000]

Hi, this feature will be very helpful in my work, I dont have a lidar camera yet, but I am considering to buy it. I would like to ask you if you could make a tutorial video of this proces, like imports, exports, file formats, ect.

[@Vojan1000]

also is this app only for Iphone lidar scans, or can I buy intel ladar camera I515?

[@MiNombreEsElCamaron]

I think this is incredible!! Thank you for covering this! Things I would have love covered in the video: What devices this works on Accuracy of dimensions Future stated release goals How it handles windows and mirrors How large of a space it can capture How clean the imported model is Thank you! Downloading this now!!

If you’re interested in learning more you can find answers to some of your questions in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIuvmHarrNSWock

[@tellyrotsyourbrain]

This looks fantastic. However, it appears to register surfaces and objects as cuboids, with all angles essentially 90º. Is this correct? How does it cope with irregular geometries, such as curved walls and floor plans that are not characterised by 90º angles? Thanks.

[@runnercto]

Can I convert existing LiDAR scans to room scans?

[@3DGvisuals]

Wow! The speed of advancements at the moment is insane! 😲

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Very!

[@svengalilord]

What do you think about using the LIDAR scans for creating a model of the exterior site topography? As an architect, knowing the grading conditions would be very helpful.

[@ryanlansford4129]

How precise can this get, if I wanted to use this for getting precision measurements for a shower build or bathroom remodel?

[@Lets_Fish_It]

Hey Justin love your vid’s!!!! I don’t see anyone showing off this can scan staircases???? Is this possible

[@jinx29211]

Would this work with stairs ?

[@carloperrottelli9756]

Big problem to made correct 2D floor plan when the room is not regular..app work good whit squared room with 90° degrees wall but when one wall have different angle and I export in any format the 2D floor is wrong..appear like squared room

[@Charley-pe8mt]

can you do multiple floors like this and be able to toggle each floor?

[@Sjeunie]

Does this app calculate the envelope area of a building?

[@lennyclark9003]

How does it do with adjacent rooms in an open plan?

[@aidenryan3921]

Is there anything for Android phones?

[@thomaaz]

how accurate is this? i'm thinking you could scan the room, import it and rescale it with tapemeasure tool after measuring, let's say, the doorwidth?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

I’ve not seen anything that tests the specific accuracy of the tool. I definitely wouldn’t expect it to be laser precise, but it’s more than good enough for most estimating I do

[@jasonmcdaniel8212]

So, poly cam vs Magic plan, that's the question I have. Any thoughts?

[@magdachrzanowska736]

Hello is this scanner giving accurate measurements?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Accuracy is a question of precision. It's plenty accurate enough for my uses, but it really depends on the level of precision you need. If I'm off by a couple inches, for example, it's unlikely to affect an estimate I put together. I'd recommend if it's something where a high level of accuracy is required, double check with another measuring method

[@coolal19]

Looks really cool but dimensional accuracy is a must for my work. How off were the model dimensions from the actual physical kitchen dimensions? Thanks!

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Like I said in the video, haven't had a chance to check

[@LiDAR3D]

The accuracy is around 95% This video shows more about the accuracy when compared with reality kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIuvmHarrNSWock

[@thereecious]

3CM to 10CMs off. Based on my field work and comparing it to a laser measurer

[@johnjlopez]

Does it scan ceilings or just floor and walls?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

For my room, which is all the same level, it did not include ceilings, but adding it would be easy because it's flat. I haven't tested it with non-flat ceilings so I don't know what it's doing with that data (if anything)

[@ZHUPERxMAN]

This is al fine and dandy but how does this hold up when you do multiple rooms or an entire floor ?

[@jctk18]

I've been using polycam for 1 year and this app is amazing! I couldn't find room mode. How should I activate it? Thank you for your advice and congratulations on your channel.

[@jctk18]

Update to iOS 16 in progress...

[@isacferreira6804]

I want to buy, iPhone 13 pro, but I want to look for the useful update

[@mollymalmer4003]

Thank for a great vid! What iphone model did you use for this?

[@nickirlam4811]

The Polycam app i have doesn’t show these buttons ?

[@jacopomagatti3795]

Hi, I really appreciate your works. How ca I scan and reproduce a human body in 3D? tankyou

[@truethinker68]

Does my laptop have to be apple to import dae into sketchup?

[@nickirlam4811]

I think it may be down to IOS not been 16 on phone just updating it currently

[@nofarg2604]

Hi, I downloaded it to my Google Android phone and it doesn't show the same as on the iPhone, any idea if this app supports Android as well? I can't figure it out

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Does your Google Android phone have a lidar scanner? As far as I know, it supports Android but those phones don't have the same features

[@thetruth7046]

Any Lidar systems out there that an be saved as an ESX file for Xactimate?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

No idea - I’ve not used either of those

[@justind.benito5157]

HI what app do you use

[@johnferguson8081]

Unfortunately not that accurate so no good for surveys. On a room about 5.4m x 5.4m the scan was 130mm and 160mm off and ceiling height was 20mm off. To get the furniture in a group: Select the face of any piece of furniture Right Click Select > all with same material Then hold down Alt key and click on any furniture line Right Click Select > all connected Edit > make group

[@Thesketchupessentials]

I would definitely recommend something a little more powerful than an Iphone for surveys that require that level of detail - maybe someday I'll actually get to test something like that :). I did note how to group the furniture in the video

[@colm7837]

Can i use this for cabinet making and designing with fusion360 ? Or is it just sketch up

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Theoretically yes - it just creates a simple FBX or whatever kind of export you use. That said, I think it would just come in as a point mesh, so you wouldn't be able to actually edit it as a Fusion 360 item

[@colm7837]

@@Thesketchupessentials a right, thanks for the reply man

[@martinortiz4580]

@@Thesketchupessentials Hi. Is it the same situation if I try to export the file to autocad; I wouldn´t be able to edit it?. if so, how is it that you can export and edit in sketchup?. Thank you, man

[@Dad32646]

This shit went from 6.99 to 17.99 within a year???????

[@yordantonev1730]

😂

[@Andybowbandy]

I can’t find the settings for Room Mode and the app is up to date so what gives?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Oh - one thing I totally forgot to mention in the video - Room Mode only shows up on the Iphone app if your IOS is updated to IOS 16. If you don't update your IOS it won't show up as an option

[@Andybowbandy]

@@Thesketchupessentials thank you 🙏

[@dinhobueno412]

Hi, your video is very good. Is it possible to use Lidar sensor and convert the file to dwg? To use in autocad 3D Thanks

[@truethinker68]

I think I need an apple laptop to view the dae in sketchup

[@stevienycnyc]

why didnt you measure brah??

This is what inspired us to create Floorplan Art, where you can turn your home into a 3D miniature model in just 10 minutes: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6O1dKNpmcp1hMU

[@Samsancas]

It went up to $17.99 in a year!!!

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Which, if you analyze the amount of time you could save using it vs what most people's time is worth, still seems like a bargain
