How to Scan a Room with Your Device’s Camera

1. Open the magicplan app and tap a project you want to add a room to or tap the “ + “ button to create a new project.
2. Select the floor you want to create a room in or create a new floor by tapping the “ + ” and choosing the floor type. 
3. Once on the floor level, tap the “ + Add “ button and choose “Room.”
4. Choose the “Scan with camera” option, select a room type, and follow the instructions to calibrate your device.
5. Capture the perimeter of the room by aiming at its corners; a green indicator will show you where your next corner will be set. Mark your corners by tapping on the corner or the “Add Corner” button. A white grid will appear to help you accurately measure from corner to corner.
6. Finish capturing the perimeter by aiming at the first corner (the corner you started with) or by tapping “Done".
7. Set the ceiling height by using the grid to move from the floor to the ceiling. Once you have found the correct height tap the screen.
8. You can then proceed to manually scan doors and windows by moving from the lower left to lower right corner of the door or window. Continue to follow the prompts that appear in the app.
9. Finally, tap “Exit AR,” then “Yes, I’m sure.”  
   Like magic, your floor plan will automatically be created!
