How to Use Survey

Updated

Overview

Survey is the interface inside the PLANIX app that gives Operators full control over their iGUIDE camera. It's used to capture and edit panos, manage lidar data, adjust camera settings, and align scans during a shoot. Both the PLANIX R1 and PLANIX Pro have their own Survey layouts.

This guide breaks down the Survey interface for both camera systems and walks through the Hamburger Menu, helping Operators navigate quickly between projects, floors, scans, tags, and settings while capturing accurate, well-organized iGUIDE projects in the field.
