Magic 1 · Photo → Plan

An old plan photo becomes an editable digital plan.

Paper plan, print, scan or screenshot — the Home Check Assistant reads the walls, doors, rooms and dimensions, then rebuilds it exactly as drawn.

  1. Photo of an 8 × 12 m apartment floor plan drawn on paper with dimensions: two bedrooms, living room, kitchen + dining, two WCs, hall, balcony

    Snap or upload

    One photo per floor, up to 6 photos at a time.

  2. The assistant has read the floor-plan photo: red outline of the 8 × 12 m footprint from the written dimensions, 7 rooms, 8 doors, a High confidence tag, a question about the main door and a Build plan button

    The assistant reads it

    Finds the 8 × 12 m footprint from the written dimensions, 7 rooms, 8 doors — and asks about the main door to be sure.

  3. The editor opens the 2D plan rebuilt from the photo: two WCs, hall, kitchen + dining, living room, two bedrooms, each room's area and the overall dimensions

    A digital plan, true to the photo

    Walls, doors, windows, each room's area — keep editing like any plan.

Drag to compare

Original photo ↔ digital plan

The original photo sits right under the plan, turned so the main door faces up. Switch on “Photo” and fade it to check every wall line.

Real images from the app: a sample floor-plan photo and the plan rebuilt from it.

You need
A phone with a camera; a sharp photo of the walls — written dimensions make it more accurate.
How long
About a minute per photo.
You get
A 2D plan for each floor, with the original photo as a background for checking.

Tips for a good photo

  • Shoot straight on, all four corners in frame
  • Clear wall and door lines — no glare
  • Written dimensions make the plan more accurate

Prefer to do it yourself? Choose “Draw it yourself” — set the scale and trace over the photo.

Magic 2 · Laser → Plan

Press measure — the number flies straight into the wall.

Connect a Bluetooth laser meter to the app. Place it at the corner of a wall and press measure: the length goes straight into the plan — no typing, no notes.

Illustration: a laser meter shines along each wall of an L-shaped room; with every press the reading flies into that wall: 5.20 m, 3.60 m, 1.80 m, 2.20 m, 3.40 m, 5.80 m; finally a 26.2 m² floor plan. Area26.2 m² 5.20 m 3.60 m 1.80 m 2.20 m 3.40 m 5.80 m 5.80 m

  6. Wall 6 5.80 m
You need
A Bluetooth laser distance meter from the app's supported list; activate it once in the app.
How long
A few seconds per wall.
You get
A plan that matches every reading — length, thickness and height go straight into the selected wall, door or column.

Got a laser meter? Connect it in the app.

Magic 3 · LiDAR → Plan

Walk once around the home — the plan appears.

Hold an iPhone or iPad with a LiDAR sensor and walk slowly through the whole home in one pass. The app builds a 3D model you can turn around; tap 2D and you are in the floor plan — an angled wall stays angled.

Scanning uses no tokens — tokens are used only when you save the plan.

Every method ends in the same digital plan in the editor — carry on right away, nothing to redraw.

Steps in the app

Step by step for each way

Pick a way and follow a few steps — the digital plan opens right in the editor.

Build a digital plan from a plan photo

  1. Open Digitize

    On the home screen, tap “Digitize”, then “Rebuild from a plan photo”.

  2. Add the photo

    Choose Photo library or Take photo — one photo per floor, up to 6 photos.

  3. Confirm what the assistant read

    Check the dimensions, rooms, doors and main door; tap “Correct”, or “Rotate” if the main door faces the wrong way.

  4. Build the plan

    Tap “Build plan” — the editor opens the 2D plan with the original photo as a background for checking.

Draw a floor plan with a Bluetooth laser meter

  1. Open Digitize → Laser meter

    On the home screen, tap “Digitize”, then “Bluetooth laser meter”.

  2. Connect the meter

    Turn on Bluetooth and the meter, tap the Bluetooth button in the editor and pick the meter; activate it on first use.

  3. Measure wall by wall

    Place the meter at the corner of a wall and press measure — the length goes straight into the wall being drawn; move on to the next wall.

Scan a home with LiDAR into a floor plan

  1. Open Digitize → LiDAR scan

    On the home screen, tap “Digitize”, then “LiDAR scan”.

  2. Walk slowly through the whole home

    Sweep slowly along the walls, in good light, without covering the camera, in one continuous pass.

  3. View 3D, tap 2D

    Turn the scanned 3D model to check it, then tap 2D to go straight to the floor plan in the editor.

  4. Save the plan

    Happy with it? Save it to a project — tokens are used only at this step.

Quick questions

Questions about digitizing

What is plan digitizing in Home Check?

It brings the home you already have into a digital plan in the app: from a plan photo, a Bluetooth laser meter or a single LiDAR scan. The plan has walls, doors and rooms at the right size, and you can edit it, view it in 3D and run a Feng Shui Check.

Can I use an old paper plan or a scan?

Yes, as long as the wall lines and dimensions are readable. Shoot straight on, all four corners in frame, in good light, one photo per floor. After reading, the assistant asks about the main door, and the original photo stays as a background for checking.

Does the assistant keep my plan as it is?

Yes. It rebuilds exactly what the photo shows and does not redesign the layout. The plan is turned so the main door faces up, so orientation comes out right; anything off can be fixed in the editor, or tap “Not right” to send feedback.

My phone has no LiDAR — what then?

LiDAR scanning needs an iPhone Pro / Pro Max from iPhone 12 Pro onward or an iPad Pro with a LiDAR sensor. Any other phone can still digitize with a plan photo or a Bluetooth laser meter.

Does a LiDAR scan use tokens?

Scanning uses no tokens. Tokens are used only when you save the plan to a project, just like a regular plan — you pay for what you use.

Which laser meter can I use?

A Bluetooth laser distance meter from the app's supported list. In the editor, tap the Bluetooth button to find the meter, activate it on first use, then press measure on the meter — the reading goes straight into the plan.

What about a home with several floors?

With photos: one photo per floor, up to 6 at a time, and add floors right on the result card. With LiDAR: if the area is too large, scan one floor at a time, slowly and in one pass.

What do I do after digitizing?

The digital plan opens in the editor: adjust walls, add doors, place furniture, view 3D. Then tell the assistant “Check the Feng Shui too” to orient the plan, check the whole home and export a report.
