I really like what you guys are doing with magic plan. It saves me tons of time when I have to survey an existing building, house due to no floor plans available and I have to recreate one. Thank you all so much for the innovation!💯
I gotta say, Magicplan is one of the easiest (if not the easiest) floor plan app out there. Really makes my work much less time consuming and much more fun (since you get a nice and accurate pdf as well)! Thank you guys!!
Thank you for the video. I'm a kitchen designer, so I get that sometimes your accuracy is acceptable at 95%, but I need more precision. I appreciate this video so much to help get a start on using this service. One quick note - When measuring doors & windows, I like to use the outside of the trim as my reference point. Should I be using target cards that come with the laser? Any suggestions would be great.
I have a 4200 sq ft two-story home and tried using MP. I have 24' ceilings in entry and living rooms, with loft areas above, large open arches connecting various rooms, column walls between rooms, stairwells, a front turret which gives a curved wall in the entryway. It was time-consuming and didn't turn out great. Some of it was probably me, but for my complex home layout it was not very intuitive. Would probably work great for a simpler home layout.
Hi Jake, that sounds like a complicated project indeed... may I ask you what feature did you use to create your rooms? Perhaps the best idea in this case is to try the manual scan, you can see the details here >> help.magicplan.app/scan-a-room-in-seconds-using-lidar - or also the define corners feature >> help.magicplan.app/create-a-room-with-the-define-corners-feature - let me know if it helps.🙂Silvia
I’d like to see MagicPlan work with more lasers. I have a Suaoki P7, which is pretty good. It’s Bluetooth, so I would think your engineers could contact their engineers and Magically make it work in MagicPlan!
Hi Alex, you can take a look at one of our newest videos, maybe it is what you are looking for, here is the link >> czcams.com/video/HKtEUCFJE28/video.html - Silvia from magicplan
I said it before and I'll say it again: you are going for the wrong market. Make sure I can give this app to my customer so he can scan his home giving me the data, so I could give him a cost estimate without giving too much data to the customer (so he does not run with it to my competitors). That would greatly enhance my income and make my life much easier.
Unfortunately, we cannot restrict who they share the project with.. However, if you share a project on the web, you can decide what the other person can or cannot see, so if you want them to see only the estimate, just enable that option and disable the rest. More details here >> help.magicplan.app/publish-floor-plans-on-the-web?__hstc=130451792.ca91b2eba20c8af65050041a56ee507b.1697633619076.1709027517784.1709040158195.185&__hssc=130451792.6.1709040158195&__hsfp=2025819029
Many thanks for the video. When you put the door and window into the room, what did you do exactly with the tablet, please? Can you please describe it a bit more? I am sure it will work with any smartphone too if it has the app, right?
Thanks, you made it look easy! Presume laser measure is No 1 choice for accuracy followed by New Apple Lidar measurement 99%! and the 95% you mentioned is the standard imaging.
Trying to decide between bosch, leica or stabila. I do flooring and cabinet work. Which one do you recommend based on apps? Never used a bluetooth laser, just a standard one. I want something that I can incorporate into my estimating process, for which I also plan on getting an ipad. Would the AR feature allow me to do something special for floors? I refinish floors and am trchnologically inclined Thanks
That does not work with our app, because it is developed to be used inside the building. So you can scan your rooms and then adapt the exterior wall thickness if needed >> help.magicplan.app/change-exterior-and-interior-wall-thickness to fit the perimeter.🙂 Silvia from magicplan
Hi there, please add this as a feature request from the app directly so that the product team can review it and add that laser model to the "wish list" of our users. We do add new supported devices over time so it is always important to get feedback from you guys. 🙂Silvia
Question; can I make Magic Plan take the shortest measurement of a series? I accidentally bought Leica D1 that has no option for that. So I want to know, If I have to buy an other one, or I can work with this one.
Hi, I am not sure to understand the question 100% but yes, you can both set up the smallest measurement manually or connect a compatible Bluetooth laser meter to the app and start with that measurement. More info here >> help.magicplan.app/laser-distance-meters 🙌
Absolutely! The Bluetooth laser integration can handle spaces with irregular layouts like the one you described. Give it a try, and let us know how it goes! If you have ay questions, don't hesitate to contact our support team at support@magicplan.app
does it increase room proportionally? for example if you clarified size of bigger wall, did it change opposite walls proportionally? Also i like that you know limitation of your program or having room for mistake, because other programs sometimes have this tendency "i can't be wrong, f off"
Hi there 😊 It depends, if you lock the measurements (so if you tap on the blue number and edit that manually or with the laser) it will not change automatically. The app will ask you if you are sure before it changes a measurement that is locked. If it is not locked, then yes, the opposite wall will change proportionally.
Asking again, can you plan a furnished small flat please. I’ve tried your app and I am struggling to get any kind of accuracy out of it. Bare flat is easy.
Me parece genial, pero haciendo unas pruebas no encuentro la opción para escanear e identificar los objetos utilizando la opcion de escaneo como se indica en el video. Mi dispositivo es android.

I want to use such a device with a plastic corner-cube reflector plate, which reflects THOUSANDS as much back in the direction of the emitter than a white paper-like surface. (See Lambertian reflector.) I want to measure 500, 1000, 2000 meters, with a resolution of 1 millineter . Problem is, I don't think the device will 'wait for' such a delayed reflection, even when it arrives late. And, of course, the display doesnt have sufficient digits to display this.
Hi Jim, what would your question for us be? I have never seen a room that is 2.000 meters wide, so in general, for a normal to big room the laser works flawlessly. magicplan is an app that is developed to be used inside a building, not outside.

use a stick on/magnetic target, tape measure or if you don't have these measure whole wall then wall to fridge LH + wall to fridge RH - wall total = fridge dimension.
Yeah yeah, Iv tired all these apps. If all your properties are just squares blocked together this app is great. Anything more complex and its just too much messing around. Been drawing plans with a laser and paper for years( can also draw on Ipad) that room would take me under 10 seconds. Dimensions, windows, doors ect.
Hi there 🙂 you can actually create a room with the most singular form, with curved walls and so on, not only a squared room! You could use the function "add corner" too to create extra space/corners or try the "define corners" function to draw your room manually. If you want, have a look at these links: help.magicplan.app/create-a-room-with-the-define-corners-feature & to add curved walls> help.magicplan.app/add-curved-walls
Went to your sight it's blanked out by a cookie accept notice. And that is the very reason I WILL NOT be researching of your product I don't care how good it maybe.

Did I get it right, that I can create a floorplan with the ipad and later correct the existing plan with data from the external laser?

Any plans to add more laser measure devices? My Bosh GLM400CL is not on the list and it is not worth buying a different one just to use on the app
I use a GLM400 no problem with magicplan. It's the none lithium battery version though.

@@ChibiButo Hi what model you have? I have the GLM400C. I see it connected but no measurements get sent to the app.
@@xmbx187 I have the GLM400C-RT
I want to get the 400C, but not knowing if it’ll work with magicplan is putting me off from buying it.

how can you measure ,for example, the front side of a refrigerator ? your laser doesn't have anything to target
use a stick on/magnetic target, tape measure or if you don't have these measure whole wall then wall to fridge LH + wall to fridge RH - wall total = fridge dimension.
