What do you like best about magicplan?

I love how simple the software is and how Bluetooth lasers so easily connect in to measure floor plans with accuracy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about magicplan?

I dislike how there is no override for the measurement compatibility, and how sometimes you can’t change a dimension without a hassle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering magicplan:

It’s functional to a point but it doesn’t work well with awkward or crooked spaces. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about magicplan?

I love the ease of changing measurements once you have drawn the room out. The free form room helps getting a strang shaped room drawn relatively easy, it cuts out a few steps of changing square room, added in corners etc.. changing size of furniture is awesome as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about magicplan?

I don’t like the fact that once you use a rug in a room it tries to lock the parameters and even if you unlock it it tries to second-guess your second measurement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about magicplan?

The best feature is the augmented reality feature that allows you to walk around an existing room and capture measurements. This feature is great for insurance adjusters and renovation contractors. The ability to quickly take a measurement of a room during an initial walk through of a home that has just suffered an accident and to give the client piece of mind to show that we are accurately measuring is key. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about magicplan?

The ability to update scales in the system is really lacking. If I want to adjust the scale from one room to another to adjust for new additions, I have to stop and create another room, instead of just changing the scale and continuing. It will not allow you to interface with pricing sheets. You have to utilize a separate spreadsheet for adding pricing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering magicplan:

This software is great for the small general contractor or insurance adjuster. It is a great tool for making a floor design of a home. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is magicplan solving and how is that benefiting you?

The biggest advantage is the ability to take a measurement of a room without moving any furniture and having that measurement be accurate. The ability to quickly measure off a room allows me to complete initial assessments and figure materials needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about magicplan?

It is an amazing tool, but as a professional, I still prefer a more precise tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering magicplan:

Magicplan is a easy way of making a fast Floorplan, that's why I use it. In my case, I am a Professional Architect so in the end I still have to use professional tools. But what I can say is that Floorplan is a good way of start a project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is magicplan solving and how is that benefiting you?

Let's say that I am on a first visit to a client, just to talk about the project. I can make a very fast plant with MagicPlan in minutes. Before doing the final one later on AutoCad, or another professional Software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
