Magicplan allows you to connect a Bluetooth laser and quickly tighten up your measurements to 100%... it's designed to work really well for contractors, estimators, insurance adjusters, etc. As well, you can drop notes, standard images, and 360 panoramic images into rooms. One great thing for contractors is that you can quickly drop line itemed services in and build accurate quotes on the spot using the area, etc. info pulled directly from the floor plan.

Nifty little thing to do if you already have the lidar capable iPad, but I'll stick to using my leica disto laser bluetoothed to my 'redstick pro' app. Its super accurate, quick, can model in 2D/3D, and even directly export to archicad. Only con is I dont have the 360 image.

@@erikleypoldt8275 Yes, although an iPad pro is around $1500+ / Archicad licence is $9000+ / Leica disto is around $600+. In the grand scheme of things $400 for a specialised app is a drop in the pond for an architect/ consultant. This is just a setup that works with my current equipment (and that I trust to be accurate) I would love a Leica BLK2GO but $60,000 US is a bit out of my budget. Ultimately we all just have to be comfortable, adept, and professional with the equipment that we can best afford.

It’s probably not all that helpful to an architect’s workflow, but i can imagine how handy it will be for decorating interiors or some task where you want to scan an object and place it in a room or next to another object that’s elsewhere for a visual comparisson.

To be fair to Magicplan (which I have used but am not associated with in any way), you didn't seem to be using it correctly from what I could see in your video. Also, so far as accuracy is concerned, it allows you to bluetooth in measurements from a laser measure, so you can get the overall shape by scanning and then update with laser measurements. See 'LiDAR Scanning a Fully Furnished Apartment on an iPhone 12 Pro' for usage example from Magicplan. I'm not an architect so have no comment on applicability for that purpose. Thanks for the video!

good video and I appreciate the effort but stop saying you get exact measurements and the app is great, to then in the next cut talk about how its not at all accurate. I cant think of a single scenario where a scan would be useful for architectural purposes with that much error. I see this being something that could have applications for digital art or modeling but just lacks the precision needed for anything architectural. Good luck with the next video.

that accuracy is not great...I was really looking forward to getting one of these for the same reasons you seem to be using it for. But after this video, I think I need to wait a few more years for the tech to improve. If you cannot trust the scans for dimensions, then I see no point in scanning a room. Sure i get a 360 kind of view in 3d, but that in itself is not that useful. I actually use a 360 camera (not lidar) that I use to take photos of all the rooms in lieu of traditional photos, so the usefulness of the 3d scan is even less for me due to the 360 photos. When I go measure a house, it sucks. I always want to get out of there as soon as possible. A lot of times its hot, or gross, or you feel like you are in the way, so if I have to scan all AND THEN measure all, I will probably skip the scan every time. Now if the client has an ipad pro, and wants to scan each of their rooms, I can use that to study the project before going out to the site. I would take scans over just pictures. But even then, the usefulness of the scans will be very minor. Thanks for the video and look forward any updates on lidar stuff!
