El plano de planta de un anuncio comercial y los metros cuadrados del contrato de arrendamiento no son lo mismo. El plano de planta ayuda a los posibles interesados a ver cómo está distribuido el espacio. Los metros cuadrados se calculan utilizando una norma de medición y, en el arrendamiento de oficinas, se suele utilizar la norma BOMA para determinar el Área Alquilable.
Puede crear un plano de planta en una tarde mediante un escaneo con el teléfono. Para obtener la cifra oficial del área, necesitará un profesional de mediciones. Esta guía explica cómo hacer un plano de planta para un anuncio de arrendamiento comercial con Polycam, cuándo usar Pix4D para proyectos más grandes y cómo evitar incluir mediciones de escaneo donde no deberían ir.
Puntos clave
- Polycam lets you scan with a LiDAR iPhone or iPad and quickly create an editable 2D or 3D floor plan right on your device. You can export your plan as a PDF, PNG, SVG, or layered DXF file.
- Pix4D's indoor workflow produces a 3D point cloud, not a drawn plan. It suits very large floors and survey-grade projects with a CAD drafter on the team.
- Scan accuracy can change in spaces larger than 5,000 square feet or near glass and shiny floors. Always double-check important measurements while you’re still on site.
Qué debe mostrar el plano de planta de un anuncio de arrendamiento comercial
Antes de cualquier visita, el agente y el arquitecto del posible interesado revisarán el plano de planta. Comprobarán los límites y entradas de la oficina, las líneas de ventanas, las columnas, las habitaciones fijas como baños y armarios de servidores, y el tamaño total. Cada versión debe incluir una flecha que indique el norte y una nota aclarando que las dimensiones son aproximadas.
El anuncio debe incluir una imagen o un PDF del plano de planta. El arquitecto del inquilino necesitará un archivo CAD para probar la adecuación. Polycam puede exportar ambos tipos desde el mismo escaneo.
Qué necesitará
- You’ll need a LiDAR-enabled iPhone or iPad to capture the floor plan.
- Polycam’s Business plan, which costs $400 per user per year, includes floor plans and advanced measurement tools. Annual plans also include a 7-day free trial.
- Make sure you have permission from the owner and, if the suite is occupied, from the tenant. Remember, the scan will capture anything visible, like screens, whiteboards, or paperwork.
Polycam frente a Pix4D para planos de planta comerciales
| Polycam | Pix4D (PIX4Dcatch + PIX4Dmatic) | |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | Floor plans, measurements, and sharing from one app | Photogrammetry and LiDAR for surveying and construction |
| Output | Editable 2D and 3D floor plan, generated on the device | 3D point clouds and models, with CAD-ready deliverables from desktop software |
| Large spaces | Extend mode for connected rooms, with wider tolerance over 5,000 sq ft | Multiple scans merged with printed Autotag targets |
| Extra steps to a plan | Review, label, export | Process, merge, then draft the plan in CAD |
| Best fit | Brokers, landlords, property managers, TI contractors | Survey and VDC teams, whole buildings, georeferenced projects |
When scanning large interiors, positional errors can build up. This is a phenomenon called drift. To help adjust for this drift, Pix4D recommends that you place printed Autotags around the space. In their test, a phone with tag detection had an average error of 7 pixels, compared to 41 pixels without tags. Using this method, Pix4D mapped a 2,000-square-meter office with five merged scans and about 5,000 photos.
The result is a merged point cloud in PIX4Dmatic, Pix4D’s desktop software. To turn this into a floor plan for a listing, someone still needs to trace the walls in CAD. This approach works well for mapping an entire building, projects that need site coordinates, or teams already using CAD. If you just need a plan for a suite or single floor quickly, Polycam is faster.
How to Make the Floor Plan With Polycam
1. Prepare the space
Turn on all the lights, because low lighting can make the scan less accurate. Glass partitions and polished concrete, which are common in offices, can scatter the sensor’s signal. After scanning, check these areas carefully.
2. Plan your route and begin to scan
Elijael modo Espacio si desea tanto una malla 3D como un plano de planta, o utilice el modo Plano de planta para un recorrido más rápido por el perímetro. Manténgase a una distancia de entre 1 y 2 metros de las superficies, muévase lentamente y capture cada unión entre pared y suelo, así como cada esquina.
Plan the order in which you’ll scan the rooms before you start. For example, when I scanned a two-story house without planning, I walked through the main hallway several times, which left unwanted artifacts in the 3D mesh. Office corridors can cause the same problem, since scanning the same spot more than once creates conflicting data.
If you’re scanning a large floor, break it into zones. Measurements are usually more accurate within a single segment than across several, so treat each zone as a separate reference area.
3. Edit and label
The plan will process on your device in just a few minutes. You can rename rooms, adjust walls, edit door and window openings, and remove any furniture you don’t want to show. Switch between metric and imperial units as needed.
4. Verify your capture before you publish
Polycam’s standard interior scans are accurate within about half an inch. This tolerance can get wider if the space is complex or large. Since errors can add up over longer distances, always check the longest measurements with a laser first.
5. Export for each audience
Export a PDF or PNG for the listing and offering memorandum, and use a layered DXF file for importing into AutoCAD or Revit. You can also share a link to the 3D model, so out-of-town prospects can view the space before visiting.
Already Have an Old Plan? Digitize It
Muchos propietarios cuentan con un plano en PDF o en papel de la última reforma. Eldigitalizador de planos de planta de Polycam puede procesar archivos JPG, PNG o PDF, e incluso fotos de planos impresos, y convertirlos en planos editables con paredes, puertas, ventanas y tamaños de habitación estimados. Esto funciona si la distribución no ha cambiado desde que se realizó el dibujo. Si se ha realizado alguna reforma, escanee el espacio de nuevo.

ElInforme espacial proporciona la superficie, el tamaño de las habitaciones y la altura de los techos del espacio que ha escaneado. Estas cifras ayudan en la planificación y a responder a las preguntas de los posibles interesados.
El área rentable no es uno de esos números. El estándar de oficinas BOMA 2024, ANSI/BOMA Z65.1-2024, lo calcula y abarca configuraciones de inquilino único, inquilinos múltiples y edificios múltiples. Un escaneo de una suite mide lo que hay dentro de las paredes por las que caminó, no una cifra calculada bajo ese estándar. Publique el plano en el listado y contrate a un profesional de medición para el área de arrendamiento.

2. Plan your route and begin to scan
Choose Space mode if you want both a 3D mesh and a floor plan, or use Floorplan mode for a quicker walk around the perimeter. Stay 3 to 6 feet from surfaces, move slowly, and capture every wall-floor junction and corner.

Already Have an Old Plan? Digitize It
Many landlords have a PDF or paper plan from the last build-out. Polycam’s floor plan digitizer can take JPG, PNG, or PDF files, even photos of printed plans, and turn them into editable plans with walls, doors, windows, and estimated room sizes. This works if the layout hasn’t changed since the drawing was made. If there’s been a build-out, scan the space again.
