Forgot a measurement during a plumbing or HVAC installation?
If the area was fully scanned beforehand, check measurements on captured surfaces in BaumaPortal, such as distances between visible connections and building elements. Missing or hidden details cannot be recovered from the scan later.
How do I document pipes before plastering or cladding?
Scan exposed pipes, connections and adjacent building elements from several angles. Label the scan by project, room and construction stage. Check the capture before the installation is covered.
Can I scan underfloor heating before screeding?
Visible heating pipes, manifolds and their surroundings can be documented in 3D before screeding. Ensure good lighting and an unobstructed view. The scan supplements your documentation; it does not replace required inspection or acceptance reports.
Can BaumaScan see pipes and cables through walls?
No. BaumaScan captures visible surfaces. To refer back to pipes and installations later, scan them before the wall is closed up or the covering is installed.
How accurate are measurements in the 3D model?
Measurement quality depends on the device, capture and processing. Thin, shiny or obscured pipes may be harder to capture. Check that the model is complete and accurate enough for your intended use.
Can my team view the installation documentation?
Open the processed scan in BaumaPortal and share it for coordination. Office staff, installers and other participants can discuss the same documented condition. Existing models can also be exported as GLB files.
Which smartphones are suitable?
For iOS, BaumaScan supports iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max as well as newer Pro models. Android requires ARCore Depth. On the app page you will find a search for the supported devices.
