How to Create a 3D Room Model for Any CAD Software?

Creating 3D room models can seem like a big task, often needing lots of time and effort to get all the measurements right. But with new digital tools like Metaroom, it's easier than ever. Here are three steps to make 3D room models quickly and accurately using your iPhone or iPad.

Step 1. Digitize Any Room with Your iPhone Pro or iPad Pro

In the past, making 3D models meant drawing by hand or using expensive equipment. Now, with the Metaroom Scan App, you can scan rooms using your iPhone Pro or iPad Pro. These Apple Pro devices have advanced LiDAR sensors that capture detailed room measurements, making the process faster, cheaper, and just as accurate.

Metaroom Studio offers a range of features designed to elevate 3D room modeling:?

  1. Detailed Project Documentation – facilitate detailed documentation of spatial elements, such as pipe and cable locations, crucial for renovations and alterations without unnecessary wall penetrations.?
  2. Easy 3D Model Navigation – navigate through 3D room models seamlessly as visual textures of walls and floors provide a realistic view, aiding in spatial understanding and material identification. ?
  3. Enhancing 3D Model with 3D Elements – utilize AI-powered instance segmentation to identify and integrate 3D objects from manually captured Snapshots or Scan Frames. ?
  4. Efficient Team Collaboration – easily collaborate among project teams by sharing scanned spaces directly from Metaroom Studio. ?
  5. Versatile Export Options – export your 3D room model to various CAD software platforms such as Autodesk AutoCAD MEP/Architecture, Autodesk Revit, and others. ?

Step 3. Export 3D Room Model to Your Preferred CAD Software

One of the best things about Metaroom is its flexibility. You can export your 3D models in over 20 different formats, like IFC, DXF, and DAE. This means you can use them in almost any CAD software, making your work more efficient and compatible with various tools.
