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.

About

WallSight

This app acts as X-ray memory for construction sites, allowing you to scan walls with LiDAR while they are open and tag critical components. Later, you can view these tags through finished walls, ensuring accurate location of hidden elements.

Highlights
  • LiDAR room scanning
  • Color-coded component tagging
  • 3D anchored tag positions
  • X-ray view through finished walls
  • Project organization by job site
  • Cloud backup and sync

Somewhere behind that finished wall is the junction box you need. Without WallSight, finding it means cutting drywall on a guess — then patching, sanding, and repainting whatever you got wrong. WallSight is X-Ray memory for job sites. Scan a room with LiDAR while the framing is still open, drop color-coded tags on everything that matters, and close the wall with confidence. Come back next week or next year, point your device at the finished surface, and your tags reappear — exactly where the real thing is. SCAN WHILE IT'S OPEN • Walk the room before close-up. LiDAR captures the space down to centimeters. • A center reticle and one-tap capture, designed for gloved hands. • Live mesh overlay shows exactly what you've covered. TAG WHAT MATTERS • Four color-coded categories: electrical, plumbing, HVAC, structural. • Tags are anchored in 3D space — not photos, not notes, actual positions. • Add as many tags per scan as the job needs. X-RAY IT LATER • Relocalize against your saved scan and see every tag through the finished wall. • Semi-transparent markers glow through drywall, tile, and paneling. • Works across devices: scan on the site iPad, X-Ray from your iPhone. BUILT FOR WORK • Projects organized by job site, with scan history per project. • Cloud backup and sync — a broken device never costs you documentation. • Your data is isolated to your account, enforced down to the database layer. • Delete your account and all cloud data any time, in-app. WHO IT'S FOR Electricians, plumbers, HVAC installers, general contractors, remodelers, and inspectors — anyone who closes walls and gets called back to open them. Requires a LiDAR-equipped device to capture scans: iPhone 12 Pro or later Pro models, or iPad Pro (2020 and newer). Other iOS 17+ devices can browse projects and view scans. A note on accuracy: WallSight is a documentation aid, not a measurement instrument. AR positions carry tolerance — always verify with appropriate tools before cutting or drilling. — SUBSCRIPTION — WallSight Pro is required for full access and is available as an auto-renewable subscription: $13.99 per week or $130.99 per year (US pricing; local pricing varies). New subscribers start with a 7-day free trial on either plan, and nothing is charged during the trial. After the trial, payment is charged to your Apple ID account and the subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://wallsight.pro/privacy
