If you need a 3D model of a couple of rooms, the whole floor, or the entire building, you can easily do it with Metaroom Scan App’s MultiRoom scanning functionality. You need to follow the same recommendations for scanning a single room by only adding scans of other rooms needed.
Before we guide you through the MultiRoom scanning process, please keep in mind the following recommendations for perfect MultiRoom scanning:
- Keep the camera clear: Never cover the camera when moving between rooms. It constantly tracks your position, ensuring seamless room stitching. Covering the camera will result in losing crucial “world tracking data”.
- Hold the device upright: Always keep the device upright even when not actively scanning but moving to the next room. Continuous camera tracking allows the app to stitch rooms seamlessly.
- Close doors for optimal scan results: To ensure accuracy and completeness, close the room doors.
Follow these steps to scan multiple rooms:
- Open the Metaroom Scan App on your iPhone Pro or iPad Pro device.
- Click the ‘Add Scan’ button.
- Follow the recommendations on how to scan:
- Clean your device lens;
- Close doors and windows in the room;
- Open curtains and blinds;
- Separate objects for better detection.
- Start scanning the room from a clear room corner, capturing both floors and ceilings.
- Follow the guidance through the scan:
- Keep the distance to walls and objects;
- Keep a moderate scan speed;
- Walk around while scanning.
- Check the 3D room model created at the bottom of the screen to ensure that all needed walls and objects are captured.
- Once you have captured the first room, click the “Stop” button on the right side of the screen.
- On the screen that appears, you can review the created 3D room model again. If something is missing, click the “Retry” button and scan again. If you are satisfied with the room’s 3D model and wish to continue scanning another room, click the “Add Room” button at the bottom of the screen.
- Keep scanning another room. Once the second room is fully scanned, do the same steps: click the “Stop” button, check the created 3D model, and click “Add room”.
- Keep adding rooms until you’re finished, then click “Finish” when you’ve covered all areas. Verify your progress by checking the dollhouse view at the bottom of the screen.
- Good job! Your part of the work is done. Now, it is our turn to upload a 3D room model to the cloud. Please keep the Metaroom Scan App open while the model is uploaded. Depending on the room size and the quality of your Internet connection, it will take a couple of minutes.
- Once the 3D model is uploaded, you can access it from the Metaroom Scan App -> Scans or from Metaroom platform-> Projects.
