Survey a whole house, level by level.

A house takes more method than a flat. Here is the order we follow to come back with complete, coherent plans for every storey.

Step by step

Walk through first
Go round the house once without scanning. Open every door, turn every light on and note any locked room.
One level at a time
Scan all the rooms of the ground floor before going upstairs. The rooms merge into the plan of that level as you go.
Stairs and landings
Scan landings like any room. They connect the levels and help you read the plans together.
Attics and slopes
Under the roof, sweep the sloping ceiling slowly from low to high so the slope is captured properly.
Check before leaving
Review each level plan on screen. A missing room is much easier to scan now than to come back for.

The most common gap

Cupboards under the stairs and small storage rooms are the spaces most often forgotten. Add them to the level before you leave.

Multi-storey

A whole house, one storey at a time.

Scan a house level by level: ArchiScan 3D merges rooms into one plan per storey and keeps the storeys together in a single project.
