iMapper gives Vectorworks users a faster way to get from the job site into Vectorworks. You place iMapper in the middle of the room, press the button once, and the scanner captures the full room geometry (walls, windows, doors, columns, openings) in 2 to 3 minutes with ±2mm accuracy. Your scans upload to the iMapper platform, stitch together into a complete floor plan, and export as a DXF file. You open that file in Vectorworks with File > Import > Import Single DXF/DWG, and the drawing arrives on editable layers, ready to trace, extrude, or dimension. No tape measures, no return visits, no redrawing from memory.
iMapper's laser captures over 1,200 points per minute with ±2mm precision. Dimensions in Vectorworks reflect the real room, so you can commit to design decisions without second-guessing the survey.
Scan a room in 2 to 3 minutes. Upload in 2 minutes. Export and import into Vectorworks in 5 minutes. A traditional tape-and-notepad survey for the same room takes 2 to 3 hours.
iMapper delivers professional survey accuracy at a small fraction of what heavy 3D scanners cost, and fits in a backpack for any site visit.
Open Vectorworks and go to File > Import > Import Single DXF/DWG. Select the file exported from the iMapper platform. The geometry lands on editable design layers, mapped cleanly for Vectorworks.
Point clouds, polylines, and walls arrive on separate layers. Trace over the polylines, extrude walls to height, or use the scan as reference geometry for your 2D and 3D work.
Not sure about a dimension or a detail? Open the 10 portrait reference photos captured during the scan directly from the iMapper platform. No second site visit needed.
Capture the existing conditions before the first line of the new design. Start every Vectorworks drawing from measured reality.
Get millimeter-accurate room geometry for space planning, fit-out, and material specification in Vectorworks Architect.
Produce accurate records of completed work for handover, facility management, or permitting.
Precise floor plans for extensions, remodels, and restorations where the existing conditions drive every design decision.
