FAQs (RoomPlan)

 

RoomPlan scanned an open-plan area as one room, how can I split it up?

Open the plan of that “room” and tap the (i) button underneath. Then tap the “duplicate” button at the bottom of the following screen. A menu will pop-up asking whether to duplicate (copy) the room, or to split it. Choose split then tap two points on the walls on opposite sides of the room. It will be split into two separate rooms joined along this line. You can then edit the plan manually if the split is not a straight line, e.g. an L-shape, using the Edit Shape button.

RoomPlan picked the wrong symbol for an object, how do I change it?

Tap the little orange circle on the symbol so that the circular menu appears around it. Then choose “change symbol” from the menu and tap the name of the symbol at the bottom of the screen. Choose the new symbol then tap “Add” and it will change the type of the existing symbol while maintaining its size and position.

Why do curved walls appear straight on the plan?

Apple do not yet support curved walls in RoomPlan. You can scan curved walls using the RoomScan LiDAR app.

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 another device that has RoomPlan LiDAR installed. AirDrop is usually the easiest method if the device is nearby.

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.
