How to Use Real Time Tagging

Overview

This section will be a description of what is real time tagging, and step-by-step instructions on how to use it. 

Before You Begin

• Make sure you are connected to your camera on the PLANIX App.
• Ensure that you created a project, floor, and at least one scan in Survey. 

Steps

Step 1: Click on the Tag icon to open up the Edit Tag screen. 

Step 2: Customize your Tag

• In the Edit Tag screen you can customize the title of the tag, the colour of the tag that will be shown in the virtual tour, and the content of the tag.
• The content of the tag can consist of text, taking a photo with your smart device, uploading a photo from your smart device, uploading a file from your smart device, or a combination of the options.
• In order to take a photo, use an existing photo, or use a file on your smart device press on the camera icon in the "Content" section.
• Multiple photos can be attached to a single tag. 

Step 3: Once you finished customizing your tag press "Next", this will take you to your pano scans you've taken so far for your project. 

Step 4: Select Your Scan 

• Select the can you wish to place the tag, and then double tap the place on the scan of where the tag will appear in that image. Once placed you will see a dot on the screen and you can press "Next". 

Step 5: Lidar Data Placement

• The last step is to place where the dot will be on the lidar data. Drag the tag along the red line in the laser scan to set the distance of the tag from the camera and then press "Save". 

Step 6: Review Tag Contents

• The tag is now set in the scan and you will be able to see it when viewing that specific scan again. To see its contents you can press on the tag and it will pop up. 

Troubleshooting

Issue: Why can't my existing photo be uploaded as a tag? 
Solution: To upload an existing photo there are image requirements that need to be met first which are: 

• The photo needs to be less than 20 MB
• Less than 8000x8000 pixels
• Only JPG, JPEG, or PNG file types
