How It Works

1. Walk the space and record a short video

Open the Manifold app and walk around the room, wall, or space you need to capture. 10 to 60 seconds is enough. No special technique β€” just move your phone naturally, like you're filming it.

2. Upload β€” it processes automatically

The video uploads and Manifold's servers build the 3D model in the cloud β€” usually within a few minutes. You'll get a notification when it's ready. Nothing to install, no software to run.

3. Measure from your desk. Share with anyone.

Click any two points in the 3D model to get an accurate measurement β€” no return visit, no tape measure. Send a link to your client, architect, or engineer. They open it in a browser and take their own measurements. No app, no account needed on their end.

Why Orbit Measure

Built for field contractors. Not surveyors.

πŸ“±

Works on any phone β€” iOS or Android.

No LiDAR required. No hardware to buy. The Samsung in your pocket, the iPhone your apprentice uses, the Android your foreman refuses to replace β€” they all work. Orbit Measure uses your phone's regular camera and AI processing in the cloud.

πŸ“

Accurate to within half an inch.

Right for material orders, change orders, as-built records, and confirming dimensions before you order. A full 3D model you can revisit and measure from anywhere, at any time β€” not just while you're on site.

πŸ”—

Share with anyone. No app needed on their end.

Every scan generates a shareable browser link. Your client, PM, architect, or insurance adjuster opens it and takes their own measurements. No download, no account, no friction.

FAQ

Questions about Orbit Measure

Does it work on Android?

Yes β€” any iOS or Android phone. Orbit Measure uses video-based AI processing, not LiDAR, so there's no hardware requirement. Samsung, Google Pixel, OnePlus β€” any modern Android phone works today.

What's the difference between Orbit Measure and Floor Plan Scan?

Orbit Measure works on any phone and produces a measurable 3D walkthrough model. Floor Plan Scan uses iPhone LiDAR (requires iPhone 12 Pro or newer) and produces a clean 2D floor plan with room labels and wall dimensions. Both are included in the Photo+Scan plan at $24/user/month.

How accurate is it?

Within half an inch in well-lit interior spaces. That's accurate enough for material takeoffs, change orders, and as-built documentation. Not designed for structural engineering or permit drawings β€” but for most field contractor needs, it's more than enough.

How long does it take to process?

Most scans are ready within a few minutes of uploading. Processing happens automatically on Manifold's servers β€” you'll get a notification when the 3D model is ready to measure.

Can I share it with clients or other trades?

Yes. Every scan gets a shareable browser link. Anyone you send it to can open the 3D walkthrough and take measurements directly β€” no app, no Manifold account, no login required on their end.

What plan includes Orbit Measure?

Orbit Measure is included in the Photo+Scan plan at $24/user/month β€” that's $8/month more than the base Photo plan. No seat minimums. Free trial, no credit card required. If you only need GPS photos, checklists, and reports, the Photo plan at $16/user/month is enough.

About Orbit Measure

Two ways to capture: Orbit Measure (3D model, any phone) and Floor Plan Scan (structured floor plan, iPhone 12 Pro or newer)

Orbit Measure works on any iOS or Android phone. Shoot a 10–60 second video, upload, and our servers build a fully measurable 3D model of the space. No LiDAR, no special hardware β€” any phone you already carry. Accurate to within half an inch.

Once scanned, you can take remote measurements from the 3D model without going back to site β€” useful for checking dimensions, planning material orders, or answering client questions. Share the full 3D walkthrough with anyone via a link, with no account or app download required to view.

Orbit Measure is available on the Photo+Scan plan at $24/user/month. It’s used by renovation contractors, general contractors, restoration teams, MEP trades, and property managers for as-built documentation, existing conditions surveys, and project handover packages. The Photo+Scan plan also includes Floor Plan Scan β€” which uses Apple’s RoomPlan technology to generate a structured floor plan and requires iPhone 12 Pro or newer.
