OpenSpace 3D Scan: Comprehensive Guide

Take and review an OpenSpace 3D Scan

Use a compatible LiDAR-equipped iPhone or iPad with the OpenSpace iOS app and an account permitted to capture. Check the actual device specification and your current plan allowance if 3D SCAN is unavailable. A Viewer cannot take a 3D capture.

1. Open the project, choose 3D SCAN and mark your position on the floor plan.
2. Start approximately 1–3 m from the surfaces. The practical capture instructions give an approximate maximum range of 4 m.
3. Move slowly in vertical, paintbrush-like passes. Follow speed warnings, avoid abrupt movement and reduce repeated scanning of the same area.
4. Check the point-cloud preview for missing coverage before uploading. Direct sunlight and reflective surfaces can affect results.
5. When processing finishes, open the scan from the plan or capture list. Use the ruler tool to select measurement points.

3D Scan is intended for focused areas and local measurement tasks. Verify critical dimensions with suitable measurement methods before fabrication, installation or other consequential work. Quality depends on the scene and capture technique; no universal site-specific accuracy or processing deadline is guaranteed here.

The vendor overview describes OBJ download and project-unit settings. Confirm the available controls in your current account before planning an export. Future stitching, BIM-overlay or measurement features should not be assumed.
