Cubicasa is floor plan generation tool available to CVR MLS users as a subscriber benefit. This recorded webinar covers how to setup and use Cubicasa to generate your floor plans and 3D models.
CubiCasa is a mobile app that allows agents to create accurate floor plans using only a smartphone. Through the CVR MLS partnership, members receive unlimited free basic floor plans for properties up to 5,000 square feet of scanned area, helping agents enhance listings with one of the most requested property marketing assets.
Why Floor Plans Matter
Floor plans are among the most desired listing features by consumers and help buyers better understand a property's layout than photos alone. Floor plans allow buyers to:
- Visualize room sizes and dimensions
- Understand how rooms connect and flow together
- Determine whether furniture will fit
- Evaluate whether a home's layout suits their lifestyle
- Better interpret listing photos by understanding where each room is located
Benefits for Agents
Adding floor plans to listings can:
- Differentiate your listings from competitors
- Help win listing presentations
- Demonstrate additional marketing value to sellers
- Attract more informed and qualified buyers
- Support online home-shopping behaviors before showings occur
How CubiCasa Works
Scanning a Property
Using the CubiCasa app:

- Scan each room by walking its perimeter.
- Continue through all levels and outdoor spaces without stopping the scan.
- Submit the scan through the app.
Key Scanning Notes
