SiteScape is the #1 LiDAR 3D Scanning App for Architecture, Engineering, and Construction. Capture 3D scans accurate to the inch and built for construction workflows. *REQUIRES IPHONE 12/13/14 PRO, IPHONE 12/13/14 PRO MAX, OR 2020-2022 IPAD PRO* CAPTURE IN SECONDS Just open the SiteScape app, hit record, and watch as a high-resolution 3D scan appears before your eyes. It’s space-age tech made remarkably simple so your team can document more existing conditions with way less overhead. ENTIRE BUILDINGS WITH INCH-LEVEL ACCURACY Get the full context with the only app that can accurately capture at the building scale (up to 5,000 ft² or 500 m² with SiteScape Pro) with inch-level accuracy. Instant site documentation that saves hours on field measurements for drafting and modeling. MODEL AS-BUILTS & EXISTING CONDITIONS SiteScape is built for construction workflows so you can seamlessly export scans to your favorite CAD programs like Revit, AutoCAD, ArchiCAD, Sketchup, Navisworks, Revizto, and many more. SYNCING THE FIELD TO THE BACK OFFICE Send your scan to whoever needs to see it so they can keep up with changes on the job site and get the right eyes on important issues. Share a secure link where stakeholders can view 3D scans in any web browser, on any device!

Great, simple app for many scanning purposes

1.6.1 restores an earlier feature really helps SiteScape be a great tool for landscape planning. SiteScape offers three scanning densities (how closely the scanned points are packed together). The restored “low” density makes landscape scanning quick, easy, and accurate.I haven’t tried the integrated alignment tools yet, but even if you have to manually combine scans, multiple scans in the same session are all oriented and shifted consistently compared to each other. Even using third party tools, this makes it easy to merge point clouds. Beyond the capabilities of the app, the developers have been beyond helpful when I ran into trouble. Despite my frustration, they were patient and walked me through the solution. Top notch customer service.

Thank you for the support and for sharing your feedback with our team! We are constantly working to improve the app and always glad to jump into the trenches with folks like yourself to tackle challenges together. Cheers & happy scanning!

Free, high quality 3D point cloud capture
12/19/2020

Nathan Selikoff
Recommend this app for easy, straightforward 3D point cloud capture using a newer iPhone or iPad that has built in LiDAR. It’s free - no scan limitations or annoying pop ups like some other apps I’ve tried. I can tweak the capture settings easily and increase the detail for small captures, or decrease the detail to scan larger areas. It’s fun to see the raw power of “reality capture” enabled by this app and my iPad! Make sure to check out the user group to see the cool things people are using it for, and check out the help docs to learn how to export and manipulate the captures.Would love to have control over the range at scanning time.

###UpdateThe increased storage makes taking high quality scans possible. I love this. Only request is that the files work on non-Lidar enabled devices for sharing. Obviously this won’t work for taking images, but it would be nice to share them with people who have iPhones/iPads. With the COVID-19 lockdown, I’ve found myself taking 3D photos of my son at play - would love to share them with grandparents who can’t visit. ###Original reviewThis takes remarkably good scans - I hope this app can handle more data in a single scan soon.

###Update reply :) easy sharing with non-Lidar devices is on the list! You can do this today by having your recipient download the free 3D model viewing app, Emb3D. One way to do this would be to send the file via iMessage then have them press and hold, copy the file, then paste it in the iOS Files app. Now that it's saved on their device they can tap the file then tap the "share icon," this opens the native share menu where they can scroll through the apps all the way to the "..." icon labeled "more" at the end. From the "more" menu scroll to Emb3D and tap it to open the file. Definitely not ideal for the grandparents but hopefully that helps!Hi Thalesian, we completely agree! The latest update to the app has doubled the max scan size and we have even more improvements in that area coming very soon.

Good app but...

This is a good app, it is free, pretty high DEFINITION, pretty easy to use, but you have to use it just right. Not too fast or you loose quality, and not too slow or it gets scattered (you’ll see what I mean). It can also get pretty low definition as well when you least want it and the maximum area you can scan is a small bathroom on maximum range. Don’t get me wrong, it is a great free app they should definitely charge for in the future, however, right now, they still have a lot to work on. Also, if the developers are reading this, please keep doubling the scan area at regular intervals, and also please try to improve the color flow within the app and make the dots more connected. Thank you

Developer Response
Roger that, Max! We've just released a new version (1.0.5) that further increases the max scan area and we'll continue to increase it in the future! We're also working on point filtering and other quality improvements that will help with the color flow but that might take a little longer. Lot's more to come :)
