FAQs (RoomScan Classic)
How do I transfer work between iPhone and iPad?
Under the list of room names, tap the “Details” button at the bottom. Then, on the following screen, tap “Transfer”. You can then send the .loco file to the other device that has RoomScan Pro installed. AirDrop is usually the easiest method if the device is nearby.
How do I add stairs?
There are two ways to add stairs.
After you've scanned a room, you can add stairs by tapping the point in the room where the steps start and choosing "add symbol" from the circular menu. Once the stairs appear, you can rotate them by twisting with two fingers. If you don't see stairs on the list of symbols to add, please zoom in a bit and ensure you tap a location that's not on a wall.
You might also like to try adding stairs during a scan (touching walls mode). To do this, just place the phone down flat on the first step at any time during the scan, and then carry on the scan as usual.
Which laser measures work with RoomScan Pro?
RoomScan Pro works with any Leica DISTO that has Bluetooth SMART (the few models with the older Bluetooth are not compatible).
These are the cheapest compatible Leica DISTO measures in the US and UK respectively, and we highly recommend these particular models:
Amazon US: Leica DISTO E7100i 200ft Range Laser Distance Measure with Bluetooth
Amazon UK: Leica Geosystems D110 60 m Laser Distance Measure
The Bosch PLR/GLM 30/50 C are also compatible if they have Bluetooth. Please check the model you're looking at has a visible Bluetooth button. Various similar devices from other manufacturers also work. Due to minor usability problems, we recommend using the Leica DISTO range instead.
I only see a blank sky blue screen instead of the expected 3D model, how do I make it appear?
This is a long-running bug in iOS that unfortunately Apple do not appear to be addressing. To resolve the issue, kill RoomScan by swiping it up and off the screen and then re-open it.
How do I delete a room?
To delete a room, simply swipe its name to the left in the list of room names. This will reveal a red delete button (you can use the same trick in other apps, too).
How do I add a new floor?
To add a new floor, tap "New Room" above the list of rooms and enter a new floor name. The new room will appear on a new floor, separate from any existing rooms.
How do I rotate stairs and other symbols?
You can rotate stairs and other symbols by literally turning them using two fingers in a twisting movement. Select the symbol first by tapping it, so that the circular menu appears.
How do I resize symbols?
You can stretch or shrink symbols keeping their shape in proportion, or stretch the width/breadth independently.
Start by selecting the symbol, so that the circular menu appears around it.
To stretch in proportion, use a two finger “pinch” gesture diagonally across the shape.
To stretch just the length or breadth, use the same gesture but along the length or breadth of the symbol.
