From Survey / Measurement to Renovation proposal

The Visuary project in 4 steps

Scan → Existing floor plan → Renovation floor plan → Sharing

Scan The LiDAR scan automatically generates the existing floor plan on site. A 3D view of the scan remains available to view the surfaces of individual walls.

Existing floor plan Reflects the existing condition, the as-is state: the basis for the pre-work quantity takeoff and site data.

Renovation floor plan Model your renovation proposal (changes, finishes, equipment). Retrieve the quantity takeoff for the proposal and generate a cost estimate based on the differences with the existing floor plan. View and compare both plans with the before/after view, create a reference plan, etc.

Sharing Send an interactive link, an annotated reference plan or a PDF report to your client, colleagues or contractors in two clicks.

I want to create a scan

I had an issue with the scan

The scan view

The 3D scan view is the first step: a 3D view to retrieve the individual surface areas and dimensions of walls and openings.

To see the wall areas and dimensions in the Scan:

1. Click on the dot in the center of the walls whose area you want to know (you can select the interior or exterior façades).

2. The wall dimensions appear directly on the walls

3. The total area calculation is visible in "Selected area" and each selected wall is added to it

4. To exclude openings from the area calculation, uncheck "Count openings"

5. To include your sloped ceilings, check "Enable sloped-ceiling import" and "Re-import" (if you have already imported your plan)

The Scan view and individual wall surfaces

Import sloped ceilings captured during the scan

The existing floor plan

The existing floor plan shows the current state. It is generated automatically after the scan. It reflects the walls, openings, rooms and equipment in place.

You retrieve your as-is quantity takeoff from the existing floor plan.

If you start from a scan:

• Rename your project and enter the client information and download the images taken during the scan if needed

• Add photos and comments directly on the existing floor plan or view the ones taken during the scan

• Specify the wall types — required for theexport of heat-loss surfaces and to reflect the existing condition accurately.

• Rename your rooms from the floor plan — for clear labels in the quantity takeoff, the cost estimate, the PDF report and the exports

• Add or edit existing equipment — some are not detected automatically during the scan, and their presence on the existing floor plan allows the cost estimate to calculate the removal / demolition or modifications of items by comparing it with the renovation floor plan

• Annotate constraints and points to watch — so you do not forget anything between the site visit and the office

• Finishes are applied by default, you can change them if you want

If you draw your plan from scratch

Draw a floor plan from scratch or using a reference plan

Always complete the existing floor plan before starting the renovation floor plan.

Depending on your trade:

Diagnostic and audit: Survey / Measurement, Quantity takeoff and heat-loss areas

Parquet flooring: Survey / Measurement, Quantity takeoff and installation plan

Tiling: Survey / Measurement, Quantity takeoff and installation plan

Painting: Survey / Measurement, Quantity takeoff and installation plan

The Renovation floor plan

Go to the Renovation floor plan tab. All your changes here do not affect the Existing floor plan — you can compare both at any time by activating the Before/after view.

It is from the Renovation floor plan that you get your Quantity takeoff and Cost estimate for renovation proposals.

Modify the walls

• Add, move or delete partitions

• Change the type or thickness of existing walls

• Add insulation layer

Place the fixtures

• Add the new fixtures from the Objects button

• Customize the new fixtures (showers, screens, Plumbing fixtures / Taps, etc)

Apply finishes

• Switch to 3D view and apply floors, walls and ceilings

Annotate the proposal

• Annotate material choices, installation instructions or points to note directly on the plan

• Add visible dimensions to key areas
