Advancing spatial intelligence in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) is bottlenecked by the scarcity of complex, scalable 3D question-answer (QA) data. While manual annotation is labor-intensive, directly utilizing LLMs to synthesize these QA pairs often fails due to their inherent deficiencies in spatial and geometric computation. We introduce Exemplar2VQA, a scalable exemplar-driven visual question answering generation framework that rapidly synthesizes large-scale spatial QA pairs in simulated environments via multi-agent coding. By equipping collaborative agents with a meticulously designed library of geometric utilities, Exemplar2VQA bypasses LLMs' spatial reasoning flaws through deterministic code execution. Crucially, the framework exhibits remarkable versatility: taking diverse static object-centric spatial query templates as exemplars, it seamlessly and autonomously scales them into massive, high-fidelity synthetic datasets. Fine-tuning Qwen2.5-VL (3B/7B) exclusively on Exemplar2VQA-generated synthetic indoor data yields significant performance improvements across various diverse benchmarks. Furthermore, its effectiveness is not limited to in-domain indoor datasets…
