bimCAD + Luftverbund App vs Scan2IFC

bimCAD app - drawing and Hottscan in one app. Start collecting data for your BIM project on site. With the basic drawing module of the bimCAD app, you can quickly record rooms and building floor plans on site with ease. In the free entry-level version you can manage projects, draw in 2D, display a 3D view, take notes, add photos to objects such doors, windows and rooms. The result is displayed at the push of a button in a number of printout templates. The HottScan module enables you position scanners in your drawings, which can then be linked to scans and brings other useful features with it. For Example, the type of room and the floor are assigned directly onto the scans of the hardware itself via the app. There is also a remote controlling feature of the scanner. HottScan hardware is required for these functions.

Scan2IFC turns room scans into structured IFC building models. Use your iPhone to capture a room, review the detected walls, doors, windows, openings, floors, and furniture, then export the result as an IFC file for BIM, planning, documentation, and early design workflows. The app is built for architects, planners, builders, surveyors, and anyone who needs a fast way to convert room geometry into an editable building model format. Features: - Scan rooms using Apple RoomPlan - Generate IFC models from captured room geometry - Preview the captured 3D model - Export IFC files per scan - Choose which elements are included in the IFC export Scan2IFC is designed as a practical bridge between quick on-site capture and IFC-based planning workflows.
