Creating and Organizing Projects

Create a project for a site, then add scans with their capture dates. Use consistent project names and select the intended workspace before you begin.

Step-by-step Guide

    Create Project Button

2. Fill in the project details

Input the following fields to define your project:

  • Project Name

  • Description

  • Location

  • Project Type (e.g., renovation, new build, documentation)

3. Upload Floorplans (Optional)

  • If you already have floorplans, use the floorplan uploader for image, PDF, DWG, or DXF files. PDF upload uses the first page; prepare the required page separately if needed.
  • These will help with alignment and comparison tools later.

4. Click “Create Project”

  • Once all necessary details are added, hit the Create Project button.
  • Your project is now live and ready to receive scans.

What’s Next?

After your project is created, you’ll be prompted to add scans — such as 360 videos, drone images, or LiDAR point clouds.

Pro Tips

  • Organize your projects around real-world sites, especially if you manage multiple buildings or properties.
  • Use clear and consistent naming conventions to avoid confusion later.
  • Use the correct floorplan revision and scale, then verify alignment and independent check measurements.
