Just dloaded the TapMeasure App and ran it on my iPad Pro...

Whoa!

It lets you move around a room and set points on the floor to define a floor plan.

Then you swipe up to the ceiling to define the walls.

Optionally, you can detect or define objects like windows, doors, tables, etc.

It creates a 3D model of the room.

When you share it (email, etc.), the 3D model is automatically uploaded to the TapMeasure web site. From there, you can dload a Trimble* SketchUp 3D architectural model -- which you can manipulate at will...Here's the youngest boy's bedroom no frills (less than 3 minutes):



Joanna Gaines of Fixer Upper will go crazy with this tool...

Apple should buy Trimble! *

Apple should buy Fixer Upper!

Apple should buy Joanna Gaines!
* SketchUp was originally developed by Google, then abandoned/sold to Trimble.  Bet they're having second thoughts, now...

I'll have to try that one. I downloaded "ARuler" and was very unsatisfied with the results.

Actually, SketchUp was first developed by @ Last Software in 1999/2000. Google acquired Sketchup in 2006.
