*** 2017 New update is finally here! Thank everyone for the patience *** Dimension Marker makes it easy to mark the dimension of any space or object DIRECTLY on photos or sketches - turning your iPhone/iPod touch into a great assistant whenever, for example: - You need to fit new furniture when you redecorate or renovate your home. - You bump into a nice piece of home accessory and wondered if it fits somewhere in your home. - You need to explain the dimension of a product to your customers, in many cases, it's better to email a picture with marked dimensions than to talk over the phone. Few more examples when you need to remember sizes and dimensions during home improvement or renovation: - You want to pick the biggest possible flat panel TV that best fit the TV cabinet. - You bump into a nice piece of decorative item and wondered if it fits into your bookshelf. - There's a light switch on the wall and you want to find a bookshelf that's either short enough or narrow enough to leave the switch accessible. - Need to measure the sizes of the 6 windows in the 3 bed rooms, living room and dinning room in order to get the right curtain for the right window. - You want to get a new cabinet that's big enough but not blocking the power outlet and the picture hung on the wall. We normally take text notes but sometimes it's confusing. The bed room may have 2 windows and there are 3 walls in the dinning room. Which wall is exactly "wall B" on my note? Which window is "window 1" on my note? I jotted down the "length" of the cabinet, but now I forgot whether I meant the width or height. To avoid mistakes and confusions, nothing's as straight forward as marking the sizes and measurements on the real photo or even a simple sketch. Remember, a picture worth a thousand words. And that's what Dimension Marker's for. KEY FEATURES: - Marks measurements and dimension directly on photos or sketches - Vertical, horizontal and arbitrary arrows - Choice of Black or White arrows - Marker pen in Black or White - Eraser - Clear all sketches at once - Insert photo from Photos Album - Take photo with camera (on iPhones) - Save your note/work to Photo Album - Auto save QUICK TIPS: - Drag arrow heads to adjust arrow lengths (and the angle of arbitrary arrows) - Tab on the arrow text to edit - Drag the arrow body (avoid the text area) to move the arrow - Drag arrows to the buttons panel (or onto the bin) to delete - Press the Black/White square button to toggle new arrow and sketch color

The Room Pipe APP uses Apple's latest AI-based RoomPlan technology framework, combined with AR augmented reality technology. By scanning the Room, you can obtain the 3D model of the house structure. At the same time, you can use AR WYSIWYG to efficiently draw the relative position of the house's hidden pipelines and output the 3D model of the room integrated with the pipelines. Features: 1. Customize pipeline attributes, support users to set pipeline types according to water, electricity, gas line , etc., pipeline color, size can also be freely set; 2. Automatically assist in anchoring floors, ceilings, walls and wall intersections, even if there are furniture obstruction, it can also help users anchor floors, ceilings and walls in real time, and quickly draw pipelines on walls, floors and ceilings. 3. The length and nodes of pipeline drawing can be freely adjusted. Before a pipeline is saved and confirmed, it supports undo operation and retreats to last node on the pipeline; 4. During scanning, a 3D model preview thumbnail is generated in real time at the bottom of the screen. It also supports previewing the house structure + pipeline 3D model large picture preview mode. Users can zoom in and pan to view the details of the house and pipelines; 5. Supports the export, saving and sharing of house + pipeline 3D model images. This function requires users to unlock VIP; Note: 1. The APP does not work on devices with no LiDAR sensors; 2. Possible challenges when scanning include open doors and big mirrors, higher-than-standard ceilings, and very dark surfaces; 3. A scanning session should not exceed five minutes. No surprise that the API consumes smartphone resources heavily. Long-time results on the smartphone: overheating and a drained battery; 4、if there are many rooms, do not scan and draw all the rooms at once. The scan can be disassembled into multiple independent rooms and output and save multiple room models; 4. Maximum recommended size is 30 ft. by 30 ft. or 9 m by 9m; 5. Lighting is important. Minimum level is 50 lux;Preliminary preparation of a room is recommended, e.g., use natural light during daytime scanning. Daylight significantly improves quality of output.
