What can I do with my scan?

Canvas helps professionals save time creating as-builts. Canvas can turn your scan into a detailed Measurement Report, 2D floor plan in AutoCAD & PDF, or 3D CAD file in formats like SketchUp, Revit, Chief Architect, Archicad, Vectorworks, and 2020 Design Live. 

In your app or in the Canvas Web Viewer, you can:

• Save tons of time on as-built creation - How to place an order
• Virtually revisit the space, take measurements, and share with others - How to use the web viewer
• Add helpful photos and notes for your reference later

Photos and Notes

Add photos and notes so you can reference them later!

For instance, if you want to remember a punch list item like a transition piece is needed between two rooms, tap the note icon in the scan, tap the location and leave yourself a note. Your notes will be visible in the web viewer. Please be aware, these notes are not sent to us, and cannot be references in your order. If you need to send us supplemental information, you may use the "Additional Details" button that appears after an order is placed.

You can also add notes as well as photos to your projects.

Please note: The annotations and notes you place in the project or on a scan as described above are not uploaded with the scan and will not show up in your CAD file. They are for your reference only. If you want to include reference materials to be used in processing your order, you can do so at order placement. Learn more here.
