iMapper integrates with SketchUp to give designers, architects, and kitchen and bath pros millimeter-accurate room measurements ready for 3D modeling. You place iMapper in the middle of the room, press the button once, and walk away. Three minutes later you have a complete capture of walls, doors, windows, and recesses at ±2mm (0.08 in) precision, with 10 portrait reference photos linked to each scan position. Export to STL from the iMapper platform to bring 3D wall geometry straight into SketchUp (Free, Go, Pro, or Studio), or export DXF to load point clouds and polylines as a 2D reference in SketchUp Pro. Real room, real geometry, in the software you already model with.
iMapper's laser captures over 1,200 points per minute at ±2mm precision. What you model in SketchUp matches the room that was actually there, so no return visits and no guessing from hand sketches.
STL brings 3D wall geometry straight into SketchUp Free, Go, Pro, or Studio, ready to push, pull, and dress with materials. DXF brings 2D point clouds and polylines into SketchUp Pro and Studio as a reference layer for tracing floor plans.
Place iMapper on its tripod, press once, walk away. Three minutes later the room is captured, including 10 portrait reference photos you can cross-check any detail against from your desk.
File > Import, then select your .stl or .dxf file. For STL, check 'Merge coplanar faces' in the STL Import Options so walls come in as clean surfaces instead of many small triangles. DXF import is available in SketchUp Pro and Studio.
STL gives you walls ready to push, pull, and dress with materials. DXF gives you a 2D reference to trace over while you build the model in 3D. Either way, your geometry comes from the real room.
Uncertain about a recess, a pipe run, or a window reveal? The 10 portrait reference photos captured during scanning are linked to the scan positions in the platform, so you can check any detail without going back to site.
Start SketchUp models from real room geometry, with walls, doors, and windows already placed, so you can focus on the design instead of redrawing the container.
Capture the existing space before any demolition or design work begins. Your SketchUp model starts from accurate as-built data, not rough site notes.
Precise wall lengths, recess depths, window positions, and ceiling heights give you the base to lay out cabinetry and fixtures in SketchUp without surprises at install.
Build a 3D base model from the real room, then render walkthroughs that clients recognize as their space, which makes design decisions easier to approve.
