Device requirements
Use a LiDAR-equipped iPhone on iOS 17 or later, such as iPhone 12 Pro or a later Pro / Pro Max. Capture needs camera permission. The upcoming native project viewer is in development for Apple Vision Pro with visionOS 2 or later. It is not yet released and does not capture rooms.
Choose the right capture
Create a floor plan starts a dedicated room scan. Scan a 3D model records a textured mesh. These captures are independent; adding a room-plan pass to a model project does not align their coordinates.
Get a clearer room plan
- Turn on the lights, clear a walking route and keep doors still while scanning.
- Move steadily along the perimeter and show each corner from more than one angle.
- Show the entire window and frame. Curtains, reflections and glass can make detection difficult.
- After capture, check the wall outline and any opening warnings. An open or uncertain boundary has no reliable enclosed-area estimate.
Review and edit
Open the plan editor to adjust a wall length, move a shared corner, add a wall or align it horizontally or vertically. Joined walls move with a shared corner, so neighbouring dimensions may change. Add, remove or move a door, window or opening; set its width, vertical bounds and parent wall. Review warnings, Apply the change, then use Undo or Redo before Save. Cancel discards the draft. The original capture is preserved.
Rebuild or reprocess
Rebuild floor plan updates plan geometry and outputs while preserving manual wall edits. Reprocess 3D model is a separate action and needs retained model source data. When source data is missing, a model cannot be reconstructed just from its preview.
Files for drawings and 3D
Share available models as USDZ or GLB, plans as PDF or PNG, and the scan report as PDF. Professional plan export also offers SVG, DXF and scaled PDF. Choose A4/A3, portrait/landscape and 1:20, 1:50 or 1:100. A plan that cannot fit your selected sheet and scale shows an error. Print at 100%, without fit-to-page, and check the scale. CAD coordinates use metres even when the app displays feet. A plan-only project has no textured model.
Backups and saved versions
Export a .spacecraft project backup from the project menu. Include retained sources if you want to reprocess later; an output-only backup cannot recreate missing source data. Import project in the library validates the file and creates a separate project. Version history lets you restore available saved versions. Keep an external backup before deleting a project or the app. The private iCloud library contains current viewing copies, not retained sources or saved version history. Device backups depend on your Apple settings.
Units and project notes
Choose metres or feet in Settings. Numeric editing uses the chosen unit while saved geometry stays in metres. Add notes to a project and search names or notes in the library. Notes are saved only when you confirm Save.
Private iCloud library
The iPhone project database stays local. The separate iCloud library is off by default; enabling it in Settings publishes viewing copies to your private iCloud Drive app container. The upcoming Vision Pro viewer uses the same Apple Account with iCloud Drive enabled. Available viewing copies include the project details, model, plan and report. Updates come from the originating iPhone; this is not shared editing or a public property link. Uploads and downloads need connectivity and available iCloud storage. Disabling the option stops publishing; it does not delete existing cloud copies. Use Remove iCloud copy on the originating iPhone to remove a published copy.
Vision Pro viewer: upcoming
The native Vision Pro viewer is being developed for a later release. Its current development build downloads private iCloud viewing copies and imports .spacecraft or USDZ files from Files. Available plans and reports can be reviewed, and USDZ models open in tabletop or full-size view with rotation, zoom and reset controls. It does not support room capture or GLB viewing. A plan-only project has no textured model. Removing a downloaded or imported copy in this viewer does not delete the iPhone project or its iCloud copy.
