This app can create and output 2D drawing files from 3D point clouds acquired using a LiDAR-equipped iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPad Pro (2nd generation) 11-inch display or iPad Pro (4th generation) 12.9-inch display or later. Drawing files can be created intuitively by plotting any point on the previewed point cloud and drawing a line segment. The created data can be output as a DXF file. When the lock is not released, the number of line segments that can be created is limited to four, but line segments created up to that point can be output to a DXF format file. You can remove the restriction by charging with your App Store account. We used LICENSED APPLICATION END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
