The Metaroom Workspace supports the following 2D floor plan export formats:
- 2D DXF: for users who want to continue working with the scanned space in 2D CAD software.
- 2D Floor Plan (.pdf): room layout with precise measurements, suitable for space planning.
- 2D Project Report (.pdf): a comprehensive report including floor plan measurements, room data, Snapshots, and Notes — suitable for presentations and documentation.
- 2D Floor Plan Simplified (.png / .svg / .pdf): a clean, minimal view of the scanned space showing the layout without additional detail.
Which CAD software is compatible with the 2D DXF export?
2D DXF files exported from the Metaroom Workspace can be imported into standard CAD programs, including:
- SmartDraw
- AutoCAD
- Chief Architect
- Bluebeam Revu
- TurboCAD, and other.
What is included in the 2D Project Report (PDF)?
The 2D Project Report PDF includes:
- Detailed 2D floor plans of the scanned space
- Room layouts with precise dimensions
- Room names for easy identification
- A list of room objects with their measurements
- Snapshots taken during the scan
- Notes and color tags added in the Metaroom Workspace
- Measurements in either metric or imperial units
How can I customize the 2D output in the Metaroom Workspace?
Customizations made in the 3D model view in the Metaroom Workspace are automatically reflected in 2D exports. The following actions affect the 2D output:
- Snapshots: Snapshots captured during scanning or added to the scanned space from Scan Frames are positioned within both the 3D model and the 2D floor plan, providing visual references for key areas.
- Room and object names: Renaming rooms and objects in the Metaroom Workspace ensures they are correctly labeled in the 2D export.
- Notes: Notes added to objects are included in the 2D Project Report PDF.
- Additional 3D elements: Elements added using AI-assisted object creation appear in the 2D output.
- Measurement units: Choose between metric and imperial units at the time of export.
How do I export a 2D floor plan?
Follow these steps to export a 2D floor plan from the Metaroom Workspace:
- In the Metaroom Workspace, go to the Projects tab, find your scanned space, and click the Export button.
- In the export window, select your preferred 2D format:
- 2D DXF,
- 2D Floor Plan,
- 2D Floor Plan Simplified
- 2D Project Report.
- Optionally rename the file. Depending on the format, additional settings may be available — such as measurement units, language, level of details, layout, dimensioning.
- Click Export. The file will be prepared in the background.
- Once the export is ready, download it in one of two ways:
- See the notification that appears in the top-right corner and click Download, or
- In the Projects tab, click the project name to expand it, find the export under the Exports row, and click Download.
