Easily Scan Spaces into SketchUp with Scan to Design

Күн бұрын

Have you ever taken measurements of an existing space only to painstakingly re-draw everything all over again in the computer? Even worse, have you forgot to take a measurement and had to go back to the job site again?! Well not any more friends with SketchUp for iPad's awesome and intuitive new Scan to Design tool. Follow along with Eric as he scans his studio space and sends it directly to SketchUp as the basis for him to build from.

Great video, thank you. Would love to see a more detailed version where you take that and then refine it to a finished project.

@SketchUp Ай бұрын

Good suggestion. We do longer 'Live Modeling' sessions so modeling from a scan could work there.

This is still one of the most "cool" things that SU4iPad has come out with! Love it.

This would be amazing for streamlining the process of measuring rooms/house interiors for architectural purposes, however this is just not clean enough yet. Future iterations look prospective.

Absolutely correct. This is basically pointless. However a few versions later and it’ll be superb.

Hopefully this tech will advance rapidly and I'll be able to use it to scan gardens/exteriors at some point soon, currently site surveying is a time consuming pain. Also, I hope it comes to non-apple equipment soon too.

Excellent session! Thanks Eric! I'm guessing that this would only work with iPad pros or iPhones Pro, with LiDar feature? What about acuracy of the measures? Have you had a chance to verify the dimensions are acurate?

@SketchUp Ай бұрын

Glad you enjoyed it! It works in SketchUp for iPad with a LiDAR-enabled iPad and iOS17 or higher. A lot of variables affect the scan output-size of the space, how much light there is, reflectivity of surfaces, etc. We'll see if we can get Eric out there with a tape measure... 📏

@AlanNisbet Ай бұрын

I use my iPhone 14 Pro and another application - Polycam - to scan a space and import the result into a SketchUp model. I use scans and the "traditional" combination of photos and videos to capture an existing space, especially complex mechanical installations and other configurations that baffle me, for my site measures

How do you know if your iPad has LIDAR capabilities. I was trying to follow along with your tutorial but got a message saying my device doesn't have LIDAR capabilities. But, this iPad we ordered right from Canvas or Occipital and it was already used to scan structures to be sent to Canvas to produce a SU model. Thanks.

HI and thanks for your video. I'm wondering can you use the scan feature outdoor? I would like to scan the Olympic Stadium and surrounding in Montreal and design a different layout for the whole Olympic village area which is quite huge. Perhaps because of it's size i should take a picture and work on creating a different layout in 2D ? Would that be possible with SketchUp ?

@SketchUp Ай бұрын

I think you'd be better off importing the aerial site plan using the Add Location feature and modeling from there. I'd imagine it'd be quite an effort to try to scan a stadium with an iPad. Trimble makes higher-end point cloud scanners for those types of projects.

Other tablets don't have LIDAR. If you wanna use an Android tablet, there are apps (Polycam for ex) that can employ the camera alone-that would give you a file (an STL, OBJ or DAE for ex) which you can import into SketchUp.
