Software/ Phone App for Measuring and 3D Design

[Alexandra Reeves]

Hello all, I just purchased a property that is in very bad condition and will require a full gut job.  I know this has been asked in other forums, but I'm looking for the most up-to-date / best option to get good room measurements and create a layout of the property.  I'd like to be able to use my phone to measure the space digitally and then work on my laptop to create a design, especially for things like a kitchen with different options for cabinet placement, etc.  Let me know if this exists in one platform.

Hi Alexandria,

I echo using Canva as well. You can use your phone to scan the room and/or entire house and create a highly detailed 3D model that can be brought into design tools such as Sketchup, Revit, etc. (Canva charges a fee for each model which varies based on size). 

I’m an architectural designer & drafter who works at a high end firm and we use it for all our remodel projects. Super accurate and works amazing to bring into external softwares to aid in the design and drafting process.

Hope this helps!
