Canvas makes interior estimating easy T Get ready to say goodbye to your tape measure and the hassle of taking notes when preparing interior estimates. When you pair the 3D scanning app Canvas with your LiDAR-enabled iPhone or iPad, you don’t just capture one measurement or photo at a time—you capture every aspect of the room. Specific features of the room can then be measured, annotated, and even shared with any other device. Canvas is so easy to use that even customers can use it to scan a room and share the image and info with you so you can develop accurate estimates remotely. Available for free on the Apple Store.
