Moving/Floor Planning

Overview

MagicPlan is a floor plan application that allows users to create 2D and 3D floor plans using mobile device cameras, AR scanning, manual drawing, or laser measures. It targets remodelers, contractors, restoration professionals, and claims adjusters for capturing room measurements, adding objects, photos, notes, and generating reports or estimates. Key differentiators include real-time AR scanning for quick room capture and tools for on-site documentation and collaboration.
