Flooring
Flooring: Survey / Measurement, Quantity takeoff and installation plan
Get all your floor areas and linear meters in just a few minutes — floor, wood flooring, skirting boards — without manual measuring.
📱 This article covers the features available on the Essentiel plan.
The scan
With an iPhone Pro (12 or later) or an iPad Pro (2020 or later), carry out a Survey / Measurement with 98% accuracy in just a few minutes.
Launch Visuary and tap New scan
Move your device through the space following the on-screen instructions, and scan a maximum of 40m² before moving on to the next Zone.
Tap the camera icon to photograph the constraints (obstacles, thresholds, level changes...) — the photo will be automatically located on the plan
Press and hold to leave an audio comment on the key points to watch and work to plan
Finish your scan to access the measurements and Quantity takeoff for the Survey / Measurement
Example comments used: "Allow for parquet board repairs" and "Step to be planned"
Once your scan is finished, rename your project to find it more easily by clicking the 3 dots at the top right in the app or the project name directly in the browser.
Retrieve the surfaces
Once the scan is done, find your project on Visuary (visuary.app) from your computer or tablet — the plan is automatically synced.
Once the project is open:
From the 2D plan, open the Quantity takeoff button → and select Per room
Click on the floor of a room to rename it, the Quantity takeoff updates automatically
Switch to 3D view, you can view the default Finish / Covering applied
Open the Quantity takeoff tab to find, by room and globally:
Floor areas by Finish / Covering in m²
Skirting board linear meters
💡 Quantity takeoff updates automatically with each change to the plan.
Apply your wood floor
On the Renovation floor plan, apply your wood floor over the default Finish / Covering to refine your Quantity takeoff and view the render.
Switch to the Renovation floor plan tab
Select the Finish / Covering tool
Switch to 3D view
Choose your wood floor in the Floor category
Apply it to each room by clicking on the floor
Retrieve the surface area of each applied wood floor in the Quantity takeoff.
Adding Finish / Covering to skirting boards works differently; you can choose to apply the floor Finish / Covering, wall Finish / Covering, or the default Finish / Covering:
💡 Create variants to offer several moods to your client — natural oak wood floor vs. dark-stained wood floor for example — without duplicating your project.
Create a Reference plan
From the 2D plan, annotate the Zones directly to prepare the installation or pass instructions to your team or supplier. Review your comment Location pins and turn the key points to watch into text Annotation so they are readable directly on the plan.
Review your comments from the Location pins on the plan
Activate the "Annotations" Layer by clicking the eye icon at the bottom right of the screen
Add a text Annotation on each affected Zone — "Board replacement", "Step to be planned" and "Full sanding and oiling" Use colors to distinguish information types
Select the "Polyline" tool to draw lines highlighting specific elements — "Step to be planned" If needed, activate the "Show segment lengths" option
You can also add dimensions visible from the Annotation tool — they will appear on the PDF if the Measurement lines Layer is enabled.
Go to the PDF report tab, unlock your 2D plan page and select the visible Layer and the plan version.
The PDF report also includes a comments page with the plan and the details for each Location pin.
