The architecture app to measure stays
With the phrase of … "They do not know what to invent anymore!" They are giving us more than one surprise in the applications for architects and professionals related to architecture, engineering or construction. We just have to see how to create a 3D point cloud with this modeling app. Crazy! But there is still more …
In this case, we have found a architecture app That dazzles even the fastest technician measuring rooms and deserves applause from the forgetful architect, surveyor or engineer when the meter and / or measuring laser has stayed at home watching television.
We started with two awesome apps …
1.- App to measure with RoomScan
The first, the app to measure distances or spaces is named RoomScan, is an application only for iOS that draw floor plans in a few minutes. Support the mobile on the wall … measure taken! And so on until the vertical parameters of a room are completed.
As they say, its operation is based on internal sensors that the iPhone has that recognizes - in sequence - vertical flat surfaces with a precision of 10 cm of error.
To see how fast the Present architecture application I leave the following video:
The download is free with the basic features that obviously has a Pro version to increase the effectiveness of the application. With the measurement app Once the plan is obtained, we can export the drawing, either as a PDF or DXF file from AutoCAD or SketchUp.
Main features:
- The measurement of the plant is fast (See video) obtaining approximate lengths and area. An excellent survey application.
- Possibility of drawing rooms in "L" format or more complex. (At the moment the curves, nothing at all).
- The measurement error of the architecture app it is estimated at 10cm.
- Doors can be added (Pro Version)
- Option to combine the app for architects together with a laser meter by introducing unit measurements for each wall.
- Rooms can be automatically connected to each other to create an entire floor plan (RoomScan Pro only).
- In the app to measure spaces we can identify the different rooms with colors. (Pro version)
- Measurements are available in metric, feet and inches, and East Asian units.
Access tosketch app for download from RoomScan for iOS from the App Store. As it is only for IOS, you can see another one that is similar for Android….
Another application that is worth reviewing asapp to measure rooms and rooms, which we can use both in tablet for architects and in mobile phones - cell phones, is calledMagicPlan from Google play from HERE to Androi, which is becoming very popular with architects and engineers.
Although the video is in English we can see the scope of the app to measure spaces. When we download it, it is fully translated into Spanish and works perfectly as well as being very intuitive.
We also remember the article on how to make a sketch or three-dimensional figures in 1 minute and the impressive 3D architecture scanner for the iPad with the new technologies that we already have within reach.
2.- Application to measure AR Ruler App
The second, although news does not stop coming out, another of the best applications to measure distances is AR Ruler App which is amazing with how quickly it takes action.
Use augmented reality (AR) technology to take real-world measurements with your smartphone's camera. You point to the plane, detected and start using the tool in the style of a tape measure.
We can access the AR Ruler App for Android HERE and for IOS from HERE. This is paid, but if you work in the architecture sector, the annual payment is very cheap.
Main features:
- AR Ruler App - allows you to measure linear sizes in cm, m, mm, inches, feet, yards with tape measure.
- Distance Meter - allows you to tape measure the distance from the device's camera to a fixed point on the detected 3D plane.
- Angle - allows you to tape measure the corners of 3D planes.
- Area and Perimeter - allows you to tape the perimeter and area of the room.
- Volume - allows you to measure the size of 3D objects.
- Polyline - allows you to calculate the length of the path.
- Height - allows you to tape measure the height relative to the recognized surface.
Other applications for architecture
Obviously, as you can imagine, an endless list of apps for construction sites Y architecture applications To improve our well-being at work, but firstly we will delve into databases, such as Google Play, and then we will show the most convincing articles that bring together the applications aimed at better quality architecture:
One of the applications for architecture Free from Autodesk, it is the administration of a construction before the BIM 360 Docs, which allows publishing, reviewing all documents, management works, plans and project models from the cloud:
Other project management app Interesting is the Grid Plan with which we can share hands, instant reports and photos, actions and all this with our team. Exceptional contribution for the monitoring and review of works or for the management of problems. With a 21-day free trial we can access it from HERE.
Other interesting initiatives on the Internet, is in the field the creation of digital patterns for design and architecture projects, with the program to create visual textures of wood, fabrics, paper, floors and an endless number of materials, we take another step in the realm of design.
Now it's time to see a good list of apps to measure stays, to make plans, engineering, efficiency, etc. There's a lot!…
From Google Play with the search engine:
- All applications for architecture … From HERE
- All applications for engineers … From HERE
- All applications for energy efficiency… From HERE.
- All applications for energy certification… From HERE.
Since we are talking about resources and, in many cases, in the assembly of our projects we do not have enough material and images to obtain a quality work, we recommend taking a look at the article ovacen.com/increibles-portales-imagenes-bonitas -nature-and-architecture where we can see quality images, totally free and with the labelcreative commons.
