iMapper + ProKitchen: Real Walls, Not Reference Lines
Native EDF export from measured site data, imported through ProKitchen's eTemplate integration with ±2mm (0.08 in) precision and 10 portrait reference photos.

iMapper integrates with ProKitchen through the EDF file format, the native room file ProKitchen imports via its eTemplate integration. Using iMapper's laser scanner (±2mm precision), you capture complete room geometry (walls, windows, doors, and recesses) in under 3 minutes per room. The iMapper platform exports an EDF file that opens in ProKitchen as real, editable walls rather than as reference lines only, which is what happens with a DXF import. No plugin, no conversion, no tracing over a reference underlay. Unlike tape measures, iMapper removes measurement errors and manual transcription, delivering design-ready room data that drives cabinet layout, photorealistic renderings, and client presentations with confidence. Every measurement includes 10 portrait reference photos for verifying outlet positions, pipe locations, and obstruction clearances from your desk rather than from a second site visit.

Benefits

Real Walls, Not Reference Lines

Importing a DXF file into ProKitchen leaves you with reference lines only, so the room still has to be redrawn wall by wall. The iMapper EDF file imports through ProKitchen's eTemplate integration as real walls with doors and windows already in place. You start designing, not tracing.

±2mm (0.08 in) Measurement Accuracy

iMapper's laser captures 1,200+ points per minute with ±2mm (0.08 in) precision. Every wall length, corner angle, door opening, and recess is recorded exactly. Cabinet runs fit the real room on the first try, no re-measurement, no call-backs.

10 Portrait Reference Photos for Every Detail

Outlet positions, pipe runs, beam clearances, existing obstructions. Verify every detail from 10 portrait reference photos on the iMapper platform without returning to site.

Workflow steps

Step 1: Capture site data with iMapper

Place iMapper in the center of the room and press the button once. The scanner completes its pass in 2 to 3 minutes and captures ±2mm (0.08 in) measurements alongside 10 portrait reference photos at each scan position.

Step 2: Upload to iMapper Platform

Transfer the scan via USB or automatically upload through the iMapper Connect app to platform.imapper.tech. Multiple scans from the same project auto-stitch into a single floor plan.

Step 3: Export to EDF

Draw the room area on the iMapper platform using magnetized snap points, then click Export > EDF. The file contains walls, doors, and windows as real geometry, ready for ProKitchen's eTemplate import.

Step 4: Import into ProKitchen

Open ProKitchen and use the eTemplate import to select the .edf file. The room loads immediately with walls, doors, and windows as real, editable geometry. No plugin to install, no import wizard, no tracing.

Step 5: Start your cabinet design

Place cabinet runs, islands, appliances, and countertops on real wall positions rather than on sketched measurements. Fit issues that usually surface at install are caught at the design stage.

Step 6: Verify with photo cross-reference

Need to check an outlet position, a pipe clearance, or a beam before finalizing a run? Cross-reference the 10 portrait reference photos captured during scanning. No site revisit needed.

EDF export covers one room at a time. For multi-room projects, each area is exported and imported separately into ProKitchen. iMapper creates 2D horizontal sections, not full 3D mesh models. Open-plan spaces larger than 30m may require multiple scan positions. Split levels, mezzanines, and sloped ceilings are not captured in a single pass.

Use cases

Kitchen Design

Capture existing kitchen dimensions for accurate cabinet layout, island placement, and countertop planning before a single cut is made. The EDF arrives in ProKitchen as real walls, so cabinet runs line up with the actual room on the first try.

Bathroom Design

Vanities, showers, tubs, and tile layouts all depend on exact wall lengths, window sills, and recess depths. iMapper captures every detail in one scan, so the ProKitchen design matches the real bathroom.

Kitchen and Bath Showroom Sales

Retailers visit the customer home, scan once, and bring back a ProKitchen-ready EDF file instead of a handwritten sketch. The sales to design handoff becomes faster and more accurate, and the client sees a photorealistic render that matches their actual space.

Remodeling and Renovation

Existing homes never have perfectly square walls. iMapper captures the as-built condition so the ProKitchen layout works with what is actually there, not with assumptions from a tape measure.
