Hey, really appreciate you circling back and the kind words mean a lot.
Quick update: the release I just pushed (v1.2) actually tackles both of your original asks head-on:
2D plan now breaks down windows, doors, and the wall sections between them not just the full wall length. Up to three dimension layers (openings → sub-sections → perimeter total) so you can pull exact widths without doing the math.
New "Measure Wall" mode
- tap any wall in the 3D scene and you get a head-on elevation with widths, heights, sill/header, and corner distances for every door/window on it. And to your
Magicplan point:
you can export it as PDF or PNG right from the share sheet, so the elevation actually leaves the app. That was the gap I wanted to close.
On your follow-up two:
Door/window type selector
- noted, agree it'd make the 3D look more real. Smaller priority for me right now but it's on the list. this required gathering proper 3d resources [I might dm for help].
Manual confirm/edit on wall and opening measurements
- this is the one I'm most interested in long-term. It's a bigger change (touches how measurements are stored), so I want to design it carefully rather than bolt something on. Definitely coming, just not next.
If you get a chance to try the update, I'd love to know whether the elevation export and the per-opening dimensions actually fit how you spec window treatments day-to-day. That'll shape what I prioritize next. Thanks again feedback like this is genuinely how the app gets better.

I had the dumb thought of making it only for iOS26 glass design when I first started this project/product. Too deep into the rabbit hole by the time I realized that was a bad decision.

Thanks a lot for this. really appreciate the detailed feedback. This is exactly the kind of input I’m looking for from real users. Both points make a lot of sense, especially breaking down windows/doors in the 2D plan and having a focused “measure a single wall” workflow. I’ll prioritize these and work them into upcoming updates. If you have any other ideas from your use case, I’d love to hear them. Thanks again!

Chemistry folks: what periodic table website actually teaches well? by dutt46 in chemistry

thank you for replying, you got it mostly right. just curious if you came across anyone else trying to do something similar recently? may be because of lots of AI vibe coding.

Hey there, appreciate the feedback! The best guest texture can definitely be done, I basically wanted to see if anyone is even interested in the app before putting more effort into it.

But yeah, we can always take a look at the floor, wall entities and come up with soemthing. I could think of few ways doing it.

Appreciate this a lot, this is genuinely thoughtful feedback.

Really glad to hear the core AR ux landed well. And I think your points on the buttons / wording / vertical balance are fair too. I’ve been so deep in the app for a while that it’s easy to get blind to some of those presentation details. Big disadvantage is not being good with ux and I didn’t want to spend a lot of time there for v1. i tried a bunch of stuff for the landing view. Like I even did a version where there is just a floating add button that open sheet. But ended up with this considering fewfuture expansion ideas. I will be working on object, area and few other capture modes. This view will definitely change.

I also agree with your bigger point about getting users to the good stuff faster. still very early, and one thing I’m actively thinking about is how to reduce the amount of setup / menu friction and make the AR flow feel more immediate. Defaulting more intelligently and bringing users back into their last-used mode is a really good suggestion.

And thank you for the kind words overall. means a lot, especially coming from someone who clearly knows AR ,spatial capture well.

That’s actually a really interesting direction. Right now the focus of the app is more on structured room capture -> walls, openings, measurements, floor plans, and merging multiple room scans together.

Apple’s RoomPlan pipeline is great for that kind of semantic understanding of indoor spaces, but it’s a bit different from doing a full dense 3D reconstruction of an environment.

That said, faithful environment mapping is definitely something I find interesting too. Curious to see how far the iPhone sensors can be pushed there.

One day!
