A site visit. A phone scan. A full 3D model — the same day.

That's how Inside Reality AG now brings existing buildings into their immersive icRoom — early enough to actually shape the project.

"What makes this process unique is that I can do it with my phone. I just pull it out, scan, and start working. I can answer a lot of questions right away, with a much lower investment of time and money than before." — Chris Henn, CTO

Getting an existing building into a client presentation used to take days. Here’s how Inside Reality AG does it the same day 👉

Inside Reality AG puts teams of 5–7 inside immersive building models — projected on walls, no VR glasses. Every project starts with capture. That’s where the old process broke down 👉

Before: wait for an external scan, load the point cloud, remodel by hand. Several people, several handovers. Now: one phone, one visit, IFC ready before you leave 👉

Phone scan = centimeter accuracy. Enough for 80% of questions. Laser scanning stays for the 20% that truly need millimeter precision. A classic 80/20 👉

Same day. 1 person on-site. 5–7 people reviewing the model together in the icRoom — without VR glasses, without waiting for anyone else 👉

Apple's most expensive iPhone ever ships on October 23. $1,999. A folding screen. The thinnest iPhone Apple has made. It also doesn't have a LiDAR scanner.

For most people, that's a footnote. For anyone who measures buildings for a living, it's the whole story.

LiDAR is the sensor that turns a walk through a room into real geometry: walls, openings, dimensions. The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max have it. The new Duo doesn't.

So if your team is planning phone upgrades this autumn, the question isn't which iPhone is newest. It's which one can actually capture a site.
With an iPhone Pro and Metaroom, that's one walk-through to a floor plan, a 3D model, and an export to Revit, ArchiCAD, DIALux or IFC. Same day. No second visit.

Is the phone in your site bag picked by IT, or by the people actually doing the measuring?

Tomorrow, shows what's next for at Ignite 2026.

Before any of it gets used on a renovation, someone still has to get the existing building into Archicad. That part usually means a tape measure, old drawings and days of redrawing.

With Metaroom, you scan the space with an iPhone and export it as tailored IFC format for Archicad. Walls, openings and rooms come in as structured elements, ready to open in Archicad and build on.

Want to see it before Ignite starts? Our demo space is open. No sign-up needed, and you can export the IFC yourself.

Lab surveys used to mean a full travel day + 3 days of modeling. Here’s how H. Lüdi + Co AG cut that to 20 minutes. 👉

H. Lüdi + Co AG builds and equips modern labs across Switzerland. Every project starts with a site survey — and that’s exactly where their old process was breaking down. 👉
 

Before: travel to site, laser meter, transposed numbers, days rebuilding the model from scratch. With Metaroom: scan on arrival, IFC exported before you leave.👉

Manual modeling: ~3 days. Metaroom scan to IFC: 20 minutes. Same deliverable. A fraction of the time.👉

20 min to IFC. 1 visit. 0 return trips. 1 model that carries through pre-sales, concept, detailed design, and handover — without starting over. 👉

„The Metaroom app could save hundreds of hours across our entire project workflow.“ — Andreas Reust, Project Manager @ H. Lüdi + Co AG 👉

One scan. Any space. CAD-ready in minutes. Try Metaroom free → link in bio 💪

Seven floors. One afternoon. One iPhone Pro with Metaroom.

At Walter Klybeck in Basel, an empty building is becoming a pharmaceutical lab. H. Lüdi + Co AG captured it with Metaroom, a survey that usually takes 2–3 weeks, and Inside Reality had the model in an immersive room the next day.

The full story is coming soon. Stay tuned.

Since the iPhone 12 Pro in 2020, every Pro iPhone has shipped with a LiDAR scanner.

That's six years of AEC professionals carrying a laser measuring device in their pocket and using it mostly for portrait mode.

The sensor isn't the problem. More than 80,000 Metaroom exports show that. Old habits are.
Try it on one room: scan it, export it, and compare the time with your usual process.

So, honest poll: what's actually stopping your team? Accuracy concerns, workflow fit, or just never tried it?

Manual measuring, missing dimensions, redrawing everything in CAD — next week's free webinar with Metaroom and Creative Partner shows a faster way.

The topic: how to replace the tape measure and laser with a single iPhone scan — and send the result straight into your planning software.

One scan gives you a true-to-scale 3D model, 2D floor plans, and photo documentation in one step. No sketches, no redrawing, no extra site visit when a dimension is missing. Export directly into PaletteCAD, Pytha, CAD+T, and 40+ other formats.

60 minutes. Live demo. Time for questions.

Tomorrow is the last chance to join our joint webinar with DIALux and Graphisoft DDScad — and some spots are still open.

One hour. A connected IFC workflow from room scan to finished lighting and installation plan, walked through live with a real project example. No re-measuring, no manual re-entry between tools. Open Q&A at the end.
