    I tried this app last night for the very first time. I did not have the slightest clue how to do this but I did read some tips before scanning. This was very easy to do for someone who did not have any previous knowledge about floorpans. I'm getting into real estate photography and was thinking of using this as an add on service and after trying it, it will definitely be something worth adding to the list. I was surprised even at the accuracy of the dimensions provided.

    how about the porches decks etc .. needs to be scanned? Also there is an order top to bottom.? so you fully scan one floor the you go to the next? there are any system confusion if you scan a place twice (like a hallway or a room while you walk to the staircase)? like go from the already scanned room to the staircase to continue with the next floor?

    Hi, You need to scan everything from the property that you would like to have displayed on the floor plan in one single scan, including floors, garage, decks, porches, detached areas, etc. We advise you to start from the bottom and work your way up. Scan fully one floor then move to another one. It’s better to plan a logical path before scanning so you can avoid walking randomly or scanning one area multiple times. However, it’s still okay if you accidentally scan a place twice. For more information, you can contact help@cubicasa.com or visit our help center: www.cubi.casa/support/

    @cubicasa4133

    2 ай бұрын

    Thank you for watching! While the ceiling and wall intersections may lack the items and furniture that can get in the way, there are a few reasons it's less desirable for consistent capture. One reason is the distance, as you may have greater risk of not getting close enough to critical walls to accurately capture the distance. The other is actually the lack of furniture or distinguishing features! Sometimes, when the technology has nothing to use to contextualize the space, it can be harder for it to understand where it's at. Scanning the floor gives more details that help it more easily track the location and distance.
