I work on an app called Polycam, and we have an automated Room / floorplan capture mode. We actually announced some updates to it earlier this week:

Love Polycam! My wife just got the newest iPhone this fall before our remodel started and I was stoked to capture our house before the remodel and cannot wait to get the after all scanned in for comparison. https://poly.cam/capture/11B48FCD-E6A5-4ED7-9C9D-BF5DFE60579...


I love the app! The interior designer and property agent who saw me using it were pretty blown away.

One thing I struggle with though is making sure that the capture is robust enough before I move on. I usually only really know that something is off when the capture is done already. Can I “touch up” an existing capture by doing another local scan of a problematic area?


You can - there's an 'Extend' button for LiDAR captures, but it can be a little touch-and-go sometimes. Definitely an area for us to work on more!


thanks, this is super cool. Does it have decent geometry export options?


Yep! For meshes we've got GLTF, OBJ, FBX, STL, and DAE. And then you can also export the 2D floorplan as SVG and DXF.
