Metaroom – Seamless 3D Capture for Building X

Metaroom – Seamless 3D Capture for Building X is powered by Metaroom by Amrax

Metaroom is developed by Synthetic Dimension GmbH, founded in 2020 in Salzburg, Austria, with offices in Vienna and the USA. A team of 23 specialists in computer vision, AI, and software development builds spatial capture technology for professionals who need to document and digitize existing buildings — architects, BIM and facility managers, energy consultants, and MEP engineers. Metaroom is used in production worldwide and integrates with Building X, Autodesk, Graphisoft, DIALux, Bluebeam, and 30+ more.

Why Brownfield buildings into Building X captured with an iPhone?

Most buildings in operation lack usable digital documentation: plans are missing, outdated, or paper-only, making onboarding into Building X slow and manual.
Metaroom fixes that. A LiDAR iPhone or iPad Pro captures walls, doors and windows on site. The scan becomes a parametric model in Metaroom Workspace, where teams verify measurements and assign IFC types, then transfer it into Building X.
No laser scanner. No CAD redraw. No revisit.

Benefits

Faster site documentation — Capture a typical room in one to two minutes with a device your team already carries. No laser scanner, tripod or rental equipment, and no specialist operator.
Measurements you can plan with — Centimetre-level accuracy, up to 99%, with every dimension re-checkable in the model. Fewer measurement errors, fewer missing dimensions, fewer return visits.
Straight into Building X — Export the structured building model directly into Building X Data Setup, or into IFC, DXF, PDF and 30+ other formats for CAD, BIM, energy and lighting workflows.

Featured Capabilities

Scanning an office with an iPhone using Metaroom.

Capture on site

Walk through the building with an iPhone Pro or iPad Pro. Metaroom recognises walls, doors, windows and furniture as you scan, with a live 3D preview showing what is still missing. Rooms are captured as sections of roughly 100 to 150 m², combining into one model across floors and buildings.

Scanning a construction site with Metaroom.

Scan to BIM

The scan is reconstructed into a parametric building model with rooms, floors and a full building hierarchy. Review geometry, take measurements, and export 2D floor plans, IFC, DXF or PDF — or transfer the model into Building X.

Document assets while you scan

Take Snapshots during the scan to record equipment and conditions, HVAC units, luminaires, thermostats, sockets, damage, each tied to an exact position and colour-coded by category. In Workspace, place them as objects and assign IFC types, so assets reach Building X already classified and located.

Brownfield building digitization for Building X

Commercial buildings rarely come with reliable floor plans. Metaroom captures the building on site with a mobile device and generates structured 2D and 3D data that flows into Building X Data Setup and Lifecycle Twin. Teams gain spatial context for assets, sensors and maintenance, no survey needed.
