An iPhone and iPad Pro app in development that turns LiDAR room scans into editable floor plans, material takeoffs, 3D previews, and client-ready PDFs.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-14 issue.

Field notes

The proposed workflow starts with Apple RoomPlan on a LiDAR-equipped iPhone Pro or iPad Pro, then lets the user overwrite wall dimensions with measured values. The site says those edits recompute quantities for drywall, baseboard, crown, and casing, and produce a dimensioned PDF with a title block and room schedule. It also describes a 3D preview and a planned first-two-plans-free model, but does not show the app as released.
