All plans are paid from the first day and renew automatically for the same period (yearly or monthly) unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Prices are shown in the app before you buy. PLAN YOUR WAY Scan a facade with LiDAR on a compatible device, import a PDF drawing, enter measurements manually, and create connected walls. Review wall heights, scaffold systems, ladders and toe boards in 3D. PRO STUDIO ON IPHONE Start from a map, draw your own building or import a model. Edit buildings, walls, roofs, terrain and scaffolding directly in 3D. Pro Studio uses the same scaffold component models as the rest of the app. Save signed-in projects to the cloud and continue with the same account on scafix.app. The studio requires an internet connection.
