How to Use Real Time Tagging

Overview

Real Time Tagging lets Operators add custom information tags directly to panoramic scans during a shoot using the PLANIX app. Tags can include text, photos taken from your smart device, uploaded images, or attached files, and appear inside the final iGUIDE virtual tour.

This guide walks through every step of placing a real time tag — from customization to lidar placement — helping Operators highlight property features, leave drafting notes, or attach supporting media to specific points in a scan, enriching the final iGUIDE for clients and end users.

Before You Begin

1. Connect your camera to the PLANIX app 
2. Confirm a project, floor, and at least one scan exist in Survey

Steps to Add a Real Time Tag

1. Tap the Tag icon in Survey to open the Edit Tag screen
2. Customize the tag — set the title, choose its colour for the virtual tour, and add content (text, a new photo, an existing photo, a file, or a combination); tap the camera icon in the Content section to attach media (multiple photos supported)
3. Tap Next to view the panoramic scans captured so far
4. Select a scan, then double-tap the location in the image where the tag should appear; a dot will show its position — tap Next
5. Set lidar placement — drag the tag along the red line in the laser scan to define its distance from the camera, then tap Save
6. Review the tag by tapping the dot in the scan to view its contents

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
