BIM Scanner turns room or object into a BIM-ready 3D models. AI recognition, work and cost estimation, AI instantly detects walls, doors, windows, openings, furniture, appliances, and sanitary units, delivering a precise 2D plan, 3D model, or parametric BIM. With BIM Scanner, a 100 m² Scan-to-BIM workflow takes just a few minutes and costs less than one cent, instead of several days of work and up to $1,500 using traditional laser scanning and manual modeling. You can export fixed-layout Room Plans as PDF, ensuring plans and drawings are shared exactly as intended. Export in DXF, PDF, USD, or IFC (4.0 and 4.3) — fully compatible with AutoCAD, Revit, Solibri, Blender, Allplan, Tekla, and more. AI-Powered AR Measuring Use an intelligent AR ruler powered by AI. It detects edges, corners, and architectural boundaries to assist with fast and accurate measurements directly in your space. This feature is available in the free version. Create BIM Components 4–5× Faster Reduce the time to build BIM library elements by up to 80%. Scan furniture, products, or small architectural details and get accurate geometry, classification, and attributes — ready for your BIM workflow. Export components in USD, IFC, or STL, with improved DXF support for CAD-based pipelines. Advanced Modeling and Estimation (Pro) Take your scans further with powerful new tools. You can edit room geometry after scanning, including walls, openings, and dimensions, without rescanning. Wall elevations are generated automatically, and areas and volumes are calculated with correct handling of doors and windows. The system calculates finishing works and materials for walls and floors, including cost estimation based on structured logic aligned with DIN, VDI, GOST, US, and other standards. Work lists and estimates remain fully editable. A report builder allows you to generate structured documentation. Multi-room merging lets you combine several rooms and scan sessions into a single model or full floor. A new project system helps organize scans, models, measurements, plans, estimates, and images in one place, with shared variables such as resource prices and metadata. Unlimited Galleries — Free for Everyone Store unlimited models and measurements, even in the free version. Scan rooms, objects, and take AR-based measurements without worrying about limits.
