Scan the space. See what it becomes.
Look up any address. Scout sizes the shell from the recorded building area and renders the conversion your client is actually looking for.
Start by looking up the address you’re standing in front of.
How to use Scout 3D — 60 seconds
- Look up the address. Type it above, or arrive here from a Scout scan and it is already filled in. You get the owner, equity, year built and recorded floor area — and the site-capacity read: how much of the lot is actually being used.
- Render what it becomes. Scout pulls the real street-level photo of that address. Describe the building you want — “12-unit multifamily”, “loft conversion” — and it rebuilds the photo with that building on the site. Drag the slider to go between today and the concept. Takes about ten seconds. The viewer has three tabs — Front and Satellite are Google’s real imagery of that address, Concept is what Scout drew. 360° appears on Concept only, because it turns between rendered viewpoints and a photograph has just the one.
- Stage a room. Photograph the room — empty or already lived in. Describe the look you want in your own words (“warm mid-century, walnut sideboard, olive velvet sofa”) or pick a preset. Scout clears the furniture that is there and restages it; walls, windows, floors and the camera angle never move.
- Room tour. Shoot a Panorama in your phone’s camera app — Panorama on iPhone, Panorama or Photo Sphere on Android — standing in the middle of the room and turning slowly. Add one per room and your client can look around each of them.
- Massing. Type a build — “18-storey sky rise”, “single storey ranch house” — and the volume redraws as you type.
- Room size. From the capture list or inside a room tour, take one wide photo of a room — floor, walls and a doorway in frame — and Scout returns a square-foot range. It is an estimate read from visual cues, not a measurement.
- Send it to your client. Send to client under any render or staged room opens your phone’s own share sheet — Messages, Mail, WhatsApp, AirDrop. It always sends the before and after side by side in one picture, so the concept can never be mistaken for a photograph.
What to tell a client. Every image is a concept,
marked MRA SCOUT in the pixels and shown next to the original photo. The
property’s floor area comes from the county record. Scout never measures anything:
the room-size option is an estimate from one photo and is given as a range, and it
is never the square footage quoted for the property.

Arithmetic on recorded lot and building area — not a zoning opinion. Setbacks, height limits, parking
and overlays routinely permit far less than a lot could physically hold. Confirm with the municipality before
anyone relies on it.

Look up an address first — the shell is sized from its record

How big is this room?
Shoot the room wide — floor, walls and a doorway in frame. Scout reads the proportions against things it knows the size of and gives you a range.

Estimated — not a measured survey
What this is and isn’t
This reads visual cues — door height, wall proportions, typical room scale — from a
single photo. It is not a laser or LiDAR measurement, it has no depth-sensor data, and it
must not be used for construction, appraisal, listing square footage, or anything else that
needs a real dimension. Measure the room if the number has to be right.
Room tour
Shoot a Panorama in your phone’s camera app — Panorama on iPhone, Panorama or Photo Sphere on Android — standing in the middle of the room and turning slowly. Add one per room.
Sketch from photos · not measured · county SF for scale
What this is
A photographic tour of the room you shot — the same thing your eye saw, navigable. It is not a measured
model: a photograph carries no depth, so there are no dimensions and no dollhouse view here. The layout sketch
is exactly that — a shape, read from your photos so you can walk a client through the flow of the
place. It is not a floor plan, nothing on it is measured, and its overall scale comes from the county’s
recorded square footage rather than from the pictures.
The room-size option is a third thing again: it reads a separate wide photo you take of one room and returns a
range, and it is an estimate from visual cues — not a measurement, and never the square footage
Scout quotes for the property. That figure always comes from the county record, never from any of these images.

What’s real vs. simulated on this screen
Your photo goes to the staging model and comes back furnished. Every image carries the MRA Scout mark and a “VIRTUALLY STAGED · CONCEPT” line burned into the pixels, and the original is always kept beside it. Scout never passes a concept off as a photograph.

What’s real vs. simulated on this page
Real: the satellite and Street View imagery, the county record behind the deal card, and every photoreal concept — each one generated from the actual photograph of this address. Simulated: the massing volume, whose footprint is drawn as a 1.5:1 rectangle from the recorded building area. That is an assumption, not a survey. Scout never invents precision.
