3D Scanning

The 3D Scan feature in iRhino allows you to capture indoor spaces or objects using your iPhone or iPad’s LiDAR sensor and save them as .3dm files compatible with Rhino for Windows and Mac.

Requirements

Device

  • An Apple device with a LiDAR sensor, such as:

  • iPhone 12 Pro, 13 Pro, 14 Pro, 15 Pro (and Pro Max models)

  • iPad Pro 11" (2nd generation or later)

  • iPad Pro 12.9" (4th generation or later)

Permissions

  • Camera access must be enabled

  • Motion and orientation access required for tracking

Scan a Room

This feature allows you to quickly create a 3D model from an interior space. The resulting model contains walls, openings, and bounding boxes of cabinetry, appliances and furniture.

Steps

  1. Tap the main menu button.
  2. On the File panel, tap the Room button.
  3. Start scanning the room from the top and bottom corners of a vertical edge.

Scan an Object

Create fully textured 3D models of objects using photogrammetry and LiDAR input.

Steps

  1. Tap the main menu button.
  2. On the File panel, tap the object button.
  3. Define the dimension of the object to scan automatically or manually.

Tip: Object scan works better in a bright environment. The object should be placed on a relatively large, flat surface in order to detect the object’s dimension automatically. Otherwise, you’ll need to set the dimensions manually."
