On an iPhone Pro or iPad Pro (iOS 17 or later), open the project’s Plans tab and tap Scan a room, or start a new bid and choose LiDAR room scan. Walk the room slowly while the on-screen coaching outlines the walls, doors and windows; tap Add another room to keep going, then Done. Name each room (Conduit suggests one) and the scan uploads. Starting from a new bid, the customer and the project are both optional: you can scan first and never create a project.
When it is ready you see each room’s floor area, perimeter, ceiling height, doors and windows, and two buttons:
- Open plan goes to the project’s Plans, where the scan is now a dimensioned floor plan with its scale already set, so markup and takeoff measure true feet on it. A scan with no project shows Open floor plan instead, which opens the drawing as a PDF; the PDF is attached to the bid when you create it.
- Review estimate opens a proposal of the room’s quantities: floor, walls net of doors and windows, ceiling, perimeter, and door and window counts. Room scan lines are never matched to pricebook items for you; choose an item for each line you want priced.
Other phones, Android devices and older iPhones show “Room scanning needs an iPhone Pro or iPad Pro with LiDAR running iOS 17 or later.” in place of the button. Walkthroughs work on every phone.
- Notice See the floor plan: the scan is already on the project's Plans.
- Choose item on the wall area line and pick Interior paint, walls.
- Click Create bid. Lines you did not price come in at $0 for you to fill in.
