With CadnaR.scan, you can quickly create a digital room model of your surroundings. The model can then be imported into CadnaR for further acoustical processing. Main functions at a glance: ROOM CAPTURE (LiDAR sensor required) - Augmented reality-based scanning of floor plans for iPhone and iPad*: Quickly create simplified 3D scans of rooms and entire floors, including walls, built-in wall elements, and objects in the room. - Real-time feedback: The intelligent dollhouse visualization at the bottom of the application shows the progress of the scan during room capture. This way, you can always keep track of captured objects. *Scanning rooms requires a device with a LiDAR sensor and at least iOS 16. If these requirements are not met, features such as 3D editing and sharing of imported scans are available. MANAGE SCANS - Keep track of your room scans using the clear list view. Here you can share and edit files, as well as switch to the detailed view of the selected 3D scan with a simple tap of your finger. 3D VIEW - Navigate through your room virtually in the 3D view, make changes as needed with basic editing tools, and share your planning directly from this view ā without detours. SHARE/EXPORT ROOM SCANS - Share 3D scans selectively: Decide what should be exported ā only the architecture or the entire scan? - The export format (.EOX) enables direct further processing in our room acoustics software CadnaR.

Walls, doors, windows and furniture are detected automatically. ⢠Balconies & terraces: Scan outdoor areas separately. The floor area is detected automatically, even around furniture and plants. ⢠Complete floor plans: Scan several rooms on a floor, and ALPHA combines them into one 3D floor plan with every room in the right place. ⢠Organized by project: Structure each property into floors and rooms, with property type, address and the room type of each scan. ⢠Outdoor area weighting: Choose how much each balcony or terrace counts toward the living area (e.g. 25% or 50%). ⢠Photo documentation: Add photos to every scan so each room is documented visually. ⢠Send with one tap: Transfer your finished project, with all scans, floor plans and photos, directly to ALPHA. ⢠Scan anywhere: Projects are saved on your device, and you can send them whenever you're ready.
