Everything Plan2Real does

A simple path, from the photo of the plan to the plan laid on the floor, then tools to adjust and share it.

Import the plan

Photograph the sheet or pick a file: the app keeps all of the plan's sharpness.

Camera at the sensor's maximum resolution (48 MP on iPhone Pro), quality first, no flash
An image from Photos or a file (PDF or image)
PDF: the real page size is read, so a scale applies directly
Your saved projects are in “My projects”

Straighten the sheet

A photo taken at an angle becomes a straight plan, with its true proportions.

Automatic sheet detection, even on a board or a table
4 handles and a magnifier to aim at each corner precisely
The sheet's true proportions are restored, even when shot at an angle
“Whole image” for a plan that is already straight (screenshot, scan)

Set the scale

The scale is asked from the user rather than guessed: it's more reliable.

Known distance: A and B on a dimension of the plan, then its length in meters or feet-inches
Common scales: 1/16" to 1" = 1', 1:20 to 1:500, or 1:N
Sheet sizes: Letter, Legal, Tabloid, ARCH C to E, A4 to A0
The plan's real size is shown before you go to the floor

Lay the plan on the floor

The same aiming method as SITE DIM: the plan sits on the real surface, not in mid-air.

Fixed target in the center: white, then green once the floor position is confirmed
LiDAR first, otherwise a plane detected by ARKit; never a mere estimate
Several aims are averaged: a reflection or a ledge can't throw off the height
The plan is anchored to the real spot and stays put as you walk

On-floor tools

A column of round buttons on the left of the screen, as in SITE DIM. The function's name shows for 2 seconds, then fades: nothing hides the plan.

✥Move: drag one finger
↻Rotate: drag left or right, or use two fingers
↕Height: raise or lower the plan, to the centimetre
🤏Finger scale: pinch to match a dimension with a tape on the floor
↔Adjust the scale to a real dimension (e.g. a 36-inch door)
🔒Lock: no gesture moves the plan anymore
📏Measure between two points on the floor
◐Plan opacity
📷Photo to share
•••Video, two-landmark alignment, quarter turn, place again

Save and come back on site

The “Save” button stores the plan, its scale, landmarks A and B and its location on the floor
Reopen the project on site: ARKit recognizes the place and the plan puts itself back
Everything stays on the iPhone: no account, no server, no ads

Good to know

Difficult floors. Snow, wet or glossy floors, uniform gravel and low light make augmented reality harder. Aim at a textured area without reflections; the torch turns on by itself in the dark.

Large areas. On a lot, augmented reality can drift. Align the plan on two real landmarks (stakes, corners) to correct it.

Photocopied plans. Printing or photocopying distorts the scale: the “known distance” method corrects it.
