Typical Project Workflow - Planitar iGUIDE PLANIX R1 User Instruction Manual

Typical Project Workflow

To produce an iGUIDE, scans in every room are necessary to create 360° panoramas and collect laser
measurement data, forming a map of the space during the survey process. The PLANIX R1 can be
controlled from any compatible smartphone or tablet via Wi-Fi using the iGUIDE PLANIX app. Scans are
captured in the Survey section of the iGUIDE PLANIX app and surveyed laser data and images are saved
locally to your smart device.
It's best practice to scan all spaces, including those that would typically not be photographed, such as
attached garages, storage spaces, utility rooms, hallways, and landings. Details such as doors, windows,
fixtures, and appliances must be visible in the panoramas to be included on the floor plan during
drafting. Direct line-of-sight between consecutive camera positions is essential to allow the PLANIX R1 to
see as many structural and non-structural elements of the home as possible and ensure successful
automatic scan alignment.
Depending on the property, you may also want to measure the exterior wall thickness using a tape
measure and record it in the corresponding fields in your Survey project. Typically, this is done at the
front door jamb. After the property has been surveyed, export and download your project from the
Projects menu in the PLANIX app, then proceed to the remaining sections of the PLANIX app to upload
your project to the iGUIDE Portal. Alternatively, the data can be copied from your smart device to a
desktop computer and pre-processed in the Stitch software before uploading to the iGUIDE Portal for
drafting.
