Best practices for the Scan
By following the best practices listed below, you give yourself the best chance of getting an accurate and faithful Survey / Measurement of the existing condition.
For your first scan, we recommend doing a test in a quiet environment at home. This will let you get comfortable with the tool before using it on a job site.
The lighting
If the Dwelling / Housing unit in which you are carrying out the Survey / Measurement does not have enough light to allow the scan to correctly detect all the elements, we recommend that youactivate the flash on your device. To do this:
Start a scan
Tap the "bulb" icon at the top right of the screen
Scan room by room or by zones of about 40 m²
For spaces over 40 m², divide them into several zones
To do this:
Start each new zone at the exact spot where you finished the previous one, to ensure the continuity of the plan.
Move slowly and smoothly, without pausing
Stay in constant motion:
Move slowly and smoothly, without pausing during the scan.
Avoid leaving the app or stopping mid-scan: this can cause errors in the layout of the zones and force you to restart the scan from the beginning.
Go over the important elements several times to improve accuracy
Scan important elements such as openings:
For the walls, openings and doors, go over them again to improve the overall accuracy of the survey / measurement.
For the sloping ceilings, go over the Edge so that the slope appears correctly in the 3D model.
Have a stable internet connection or activate Airplane mode
Whether you use Wi-Fi or 5G, it is important to have a stable internet connection during the scan.
If not:
Activate Airplane mode on your device to carry out the scan offline.
To finalize and save the scan, however, you will need to reconnect to an internet network.
