How to Create a Project on the PLANIX App

Overview

Creating a project in the PLANIX app is the first step before capturing any scans for an iGUIDE. It's done from inside the Survey interface and lets Operators name their project, set exterior wall thickness, and add the first floor before beginning capture.

This guide walks through how to launch Survey, open the project menu, and configure both the project and floor details, helping Operators set up each iGUIDE shoot quickly so they can move on to scanning a property without unnecessary delays in the field.

Before You Begin

1. Connect to your camera through the PLANIX app 
2. Prepare the property so it's photo-ready

Steps to Create a Project

1. In the Devices section of the PLANIX app, tap the camera icon to open Survey 
2. Tap the hamburger icon (three horizontal lines) in the top-left to open the Survey menu 
3. Select Project 
4. Enter the project name, fill in the exterior wall thickness (if known), and tap Create 
5. Enter the first floor's details — including the floor name and whether it is below grade — then tap Create 
6. Begin capturing scans for your project

Troubleshooting

Issue: What if I don’t know the exterior wall thickness? 
Solution: You can always enter in the exterior wall thickness at a later time, even after the iGUIDE has been created and published on the portal. 

Issue: Can I name a project the same name as a previous project? 
Solution: You can but it is not advised as this may create complications when uploading to the portal.
