A3 Atlas Scanner
Read full descriptionHide full description
Atlas Scanner turns a site visit into a complete building record — on location, with no Internet needed. Scan room by room or floor by floor using your device's LiDAR sensor. The app produces dimensioned 2D floor plans, computes areas, and keeps everything in a per-property record you can reopen months later. **Built for field work** Large buttons, guided steps, no clutter. Every scanned zone is reviewed on screen before you accept it: you see the plan, the dimensions and a quality score before moving on. **Photos that stay tied to the place** Photograph the electrical panel, the main water valve, the water heater, the router, the thermostats. Each photo stays attached to its room and to its point of interest — no more camera roll where you can't tell which building you're looking at. **Sensor suggestions** From the surveyed geometry, the app proposes where to place sensors and explains why. Accept, move or decline — the decision stays yours. **Multiple floors, honestly linked** Connect two levels through a stairwell and orient both plans in a shared frame. The app states plainly what was measured and what you confirmed by hand — it never claims precision it doesn't have. **Export and sharing** A complete ZIP (data, dimensioned PDF plans, photos, installer report) plus a lightweight web page your client opens in a browser without installing anything. You choose what leaves the device: photos, address, location, notes — each with its own switch. Location off means location gone, including inside the photo metadata. **Works offline** Surveying, review, plans and ZIP export all work with no network. Online sharing is optional. 3D scanning requires a LiDAR-equipped device (iPhone 12 Pro or later, iPad Pro 2020 or later). On other devices you can still create properties, take photos, import a project and export — but not produce a 3D scan.
