Bosch Laser Measure Integration With Live Home 3D
How can you accurately measure the distance between two surfaces? The best way to do it is using a laser measure—an essential device for builders and landscapers. It can quickly and precisely establish the height of a room or the length of a stairway. Wouldn’t it be great to be able to instantly transfer these measurements to an intuitive home and exterior design app? Well, Live Home 3D and Bosch make it possible.
Easier, Faster and More Accurate Way to Measure
Made from high-quality materials, Bosch laser measures are designed to withstand the rigors of everyday use and can measure distances up to 165 feet (50 meters) with an accuracy of ±1⁄16 inch (1.5 mm). Bosch laser measures are compact, portable, versatile and can be used together with apps like Live Home 3D, calculating the precise dimensions of a room or any object—a perfect combo for those who work on tasks like building a house or doing a renovation.
All You Need Is a Bluetooth Connection
Once you give Live Home 3D permission to utilize Bluetooth in order to receive data from an external device (aka your Bosch laser measure) in your iOS or iPadOS device's settings, you will be able to transfer measurements for furniture, walls and other items from the device to the app and apply them to matching 3D models.
Here’s the quick guide:
Enable the Receive Measurements Option
Open the Program Settings, go to the Import section and then tap on the Bluetooth Measuring Tools. Now turn on the Receive measurements option.
Connect Your Bosch Laser Measure to Live Home 3D
Turn on Bluetooth on your device, if you haven’t already. In the Bluetooth Measuring Tools section, choose your laser measure to connect it. (Note that if you previously connected your Bosch laser measure to another app, you need to disconnect the laser measure from that app before connecting it to Live Home 3D.)
Apply the Measurements
Now you can select how many of the recent measurements you want to access. Tap on the value to apply the necessary measurements to the corresponding 3D object in Live Home 3D. You can take as many measurements as you want as long as your Bosch laser measure remains connected, and the list of values will be instantly updated and the latest measured value will show up at the top.
