I've been using the app since 2020 , and it's so amazing and helpful ,and i liked the improvement during the past years , and the last update 😎 it was so goof and helpful, ❤ Thanks for the team
Dang. Was really hoping for an update on the things that we really care about. Like making plans editable on desktop, better scan calibration, second floor and multi-room calibration, or transparency of walls when 3D.
Someone else might find these new features handy 😉. We're committed to adding even more in the future, so feel free to share your suggestions to help us improve the app on this page >> magicplan.canny.io/
Hi Adam, scanning stairs isn't supported yet, as it's still quite challenging from a technical standpoint. However, when scanning, it's important to fully close the room; otherwise, the system won't be able to recognize it as such. More info here: help.magicplan.app/auto-scan-your-floor-plan
The export feature is now slightly different but just as easy to use. To export a project in your desired format, enter the floor level of your project and tap the button with an up arrow in the upper-right corner. You can also customize the export format by tapping the toggle next to each option, in the file section
It’s not working like it used to do earlier, earlier we used to get all types of files at same time during export…any they did opened in iPad, but all files are not downloadable simultaneously…
While you are editing the project you can see all measurements, but also if you export it afterward, you can see the wall lengths, yes. The height can be edited too, you can find more in fo here >> help.magicplan.app/setting-the-ceiling-height-for-a-specific-floor
I cannot delete my projects. There is no button available !!! You have to go inside the project, find the plan and delete it. But then how do i delete the project?
As a free user, it is no longer possible to delete projects. If you've created a project and would like to make changes or begin again, you can simply remove any rooms and other details you've already added to that project and start over.
Hi Darren! The only feature that requires an iOS Pro version is the LiDAR Auto-Scan, as it relies on an additional sensor built into those devices to enable this technology. Aside from that, all other features work the same on both iPad and iPhone, regardless of whether they are Pro models or not. 🙂 Silvia
Nice work, earlier the layout was more user friendly… but we will get accustomed to it soon… (files and sharing interface was byway better earlier) you need to add volume of walls in stats field for masonary quantity analysis… also do something regarding tapered or sloppy roof…. Nice product and good work by team… all the best for future updates…❤
Thank you for the constructive feedback 😊. We're committed to adding even more features in the future, so feel free to share your suggestions to help us improve the app on this page >> magicplan.canny.io/
UI update looks good, I'll say that much. Editing photos and PDF's directly from the app is, um...eh, well, sorta kinda cool? I guess. I'm just not sure those are the features we actually needed. There may be certain situations that could be useful. Not really an every day need though. I know for me, I'm not going to stand in someone's house and edit my photos and PDF's while they wait for me to finish. That's an activity more likely to happen at the office, or at home, where I already had other means of doing the same thing. But sure, it's nice to have that option. And I am glad to see the improvements for adding photos, that is useful. What we really need, is an overhaul of sketch. It's controls, features, and options. I mean, don't get me wrong, it mostly does what I need it to. But there are some big ticket items that it just can't handle. Things like curved walls, other-than-flat ceiling shapes, windows above another window/door (like front door in almost every two-story entry has). And don't get me started on the totally terrible way it handles staircases. How is a staircase an object and not a room? Stairs should be easily sketched with adjustable properties (not manually added fields) for riser height, tread width, ceiling shape/height, railings, half-walls etc... I already created custom forms & fields to capture the measurements for all these type situations so I can recreate it in XM8, but these should be natively in the app. Auto-Scan has saved me a ton of time but it still implodes whenever it can't find a way to close a room with a full missing wall, like in open-concept floor plans. That's just the biggest ones. I could go on and on really, but not much point. I've put in tickets for these and several others before but always get the same "many updates are coming soon" response. The one suggestion I put in that they did approve and mark complete was the dedicated photo report feature, but I'm guessing that was already on their radar anyway. Apparently photo editing and customizing the PDF layout is more important than the content that's actually in the report... 🙄nice lol. Still beats the heck out of pencil and paper for sure! Keep the updates coming, I'll wait.
Hello, thanks for the feedback! Are you familiar with our feedback process magicplan.canny.io/ ? Over the past few years, these were highly requested features by many of our customers. At magicplan, we are dedicated to taking customer feedback very seriously. If you would like to submit feature requests for future updates, I would strongly encourage you to use the link above 🙂
In the future I really hope that insurance carriers and IA firms start using Magic Plan instead of garbage Xactimate. I think the only thing you all are missing to help you compete would be something like Xactanalysis.
I dont need any of this new stuff, but I do need to trace a room with my android to build a floor plan.. but I guess that's not an option anymore. I can only build a square room, define corners, and take pictures. Now the app is useless for our company and we will have to go with a different app.
Unfortunately, due to hardware limitations on Android devices, we couldn’t guarantee the performance quality we strive for so at the moment we are working on a solution to add the scanning feature, but I cannot give a timeline for this release. If you’re serious about scans, we recommend switching to an iOS device with a LiDAR sensor for the best experience. Refer to this video for more info >> ruclips.net/video/X-ve8VZqyGg/видео.html
So, nothing new directly in the editor. Also no new positions, furniture, equipment. Also did not make pictures in 3D, so that it would be immediately clear what to add. Well done, an update for 12 years, but at the same time nothing new directly in the editor, where we work every day 🎉
We cannot promise that it will be released this year, but we are actively working on making it possible to change a single wall thickness. 🙏🏻 This feature has been requested by other users, so if you would like to add yourself as a voter and follow the progress or add any comments, you can do so here >> magicplan.canny.io/feature-requests/p/individual-wall-thickness
Hey Roman, thanks for sharing your concerns. We're committed to adding even more in the future, so feel free to share your suggestions to help us improve the app on this page >> magicplan.canny.io/
I've been a long-time user (since 2014) and paid for all kinds of MagicPlan projects over the last 10 years. I have to say, I'm very disappointed in how you did your long-term customers in regard to subscriptions. After paying for all those projects I can no longer use any of them as I paid for without PAYING AGAIN. I have clients that I do repeat work for and need to go back to the sketch I made and paid for, 2 or 5 years ago, to use for the new project. I can not use the sketch I paid for! What a way to reward those who supported you and made it possible to keep growing as a company. Very disappointed with MagicPlan.
Hi Micah, unfortunately, the token system is not supported anymore. But please email me at support@magicplan.app and I will unlock all projects that used to have a token in the old version of the app. - Silvia
A big fu to all android users eh? Used to work normally to scan ambients before but now you "need" lidar. It was good while it lasted but at least i save on another subscription.

Good update. now just reduce the subscription by 50% across the board
We cannot promise it but thank you for sharing your thoughts about that. 🙂

that's the update I'm waiting for also.
Previously, the app would lose all the data you'd scanned in if it couldn't 'close' a room. Is that fixed? Can it now recognize and measure stairs?
Hi Adam, scanning stairs isn't supported yet, as it's still quite challenging from a technical standpoint. However, when scanning, it's important to fully close the room; otherwise, the system won't be able to recognize it as such. More info here: help.magicplan.app/auto-scan-your-floor-plan

@@magicplan No, i need the report complet. Not only the house plan
@@magicplan no it's not as easy to use, entering the floor level to get to the export is a non intuitive feature when you need the complet report...
It’s not working like it used to do earlier, earlier we used to get all types of files at same time during export…any they did opened in iPad, but all files are not downloadable simultaneously…
@@CyrilRobin-cz1us I found it :D but its diffucult
Does it show wall lengths of a room or only total sqft? Does it show height of the room?

Does Magicplan work on any ipad or does it need to be a Pro with LIDAR?
