Short answer

How can I get measurements from Magicplan using AI?

Your AI uses specific tools to pull area, perimeter, and volume data from your existing Magicplan projects. You just name the project and the specific metric you need. This turns a visual plan into a list of numbers you can use for quotes or material orders.

Where every measurement lands.

Data outcomes

The AI processes your floor plans into these specific formats.

DATA

Raw measurement lists

The AI pulls specific area or volume numbers from a plan. You get a clean list of digits ready for a spreadsheet.

DOCS

Project summaries

Your agent aggregates all perimeter and area data into a single text summary. This is useful for quick project overviews.

HUMAN

Manual plan edits

The AI cannot draw or move walls in Magicplan. You still need to use the Magicplan app to adjust the actual floor plan geometry.

FILES

Exportable data

The AI extracts the data so you can copy it into your own documents. It bridges the gap between a drawing and a calculation.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI acts as a bridge between your chat interface and your Magicplan account.

  1. Locate the plan

    The AI finds the specific project you are working on within your Magicplan account.

    get_project_floor_plan

  2. Pull dimensions

    The agent reaches into the plan to grab the specific numbers you asked for.

    get_plan_measurements

  3. Calculate totals

    The AI uses the retrieved data to sum up total areas or perimeters for the whole project.

    get_plan_measurements

  4. Format the output

    The agent organizes the numbers into a readable list or table in your chat window.

    get_project_floor_plan
