How to Create Your First Floor Plan

With magicplan, you can create accurate and professional floor plans with ease. The app simplifies the process and empowers professionals and homeowners alike by combining the power of augmented reality, an intuitive interface, and customizable export options.

You can learn how to create a complete floor plan below.

ℹ️ Note:

Edits to your floor plan can only be done on your smart phone or tablet device in the app. You cannot make changes to your projects from your computer in the magicplan Cloud.
For new users, it is important to note that the initial project creation can only be done within the magicplan app and not in the magicplan Cloud (desktop).

Create a Project

Before you can add floors and rooms, you must first create a project within the app. Here’s how to do it:

Enter the home screen of the app.
Tap the + New Project icon.
You will be brought to the Project Dashboard where you can add project details, including project name, description, and address.

Room Scan:
- iOS: There are two types of room scans depending on the version of your iOS device.
  - Manual Scan (devices with AR & LiDAR)
  - LiDAR Auto Scan (only devices with LiDAR).
  - Read more about the different scan types for iOS here.
- Android: Android devices do not support room scanning functionality, as they lack the necessary LiDAR sensors.

You can change the dimensions of rooms after they have been created and assemble your rooms to create a complete floor plan.
