iGUIDE Integration with Xactimate

Updated

Overview

Integrating iGUIDE with Xactimate allows insurance and restoration professionals to convert iGUIDE floor plans into Xactimate-compatible sketches and view the immersive 3D tour directly inside the Xactimate software. By combining accurate sketch data with a virtual walkthrough, claims and estimating workflows become faster, more accurate, and easier to verify.

This guide walks through ordering ESX files for Instant, Standard and Premium iGUIDEs, and accessing the embedded virtual tour within Xactimate for a side-by-side review of the property.

Ordering an ESX file with iGUIDE 

ESX files are available as a paid add-on for Instant, Standard and Premium iGUIIDEs.

To request an ESX file:

  1. Check the Xactimate ESX paid add-on checkbox when creating your iGUIDE
  2. Review the notification confirming the ESX charge will only be processed once the file is generated and ready for download, then click Enable
  3. Click "Request ESX" to have the file prepared within 24 hours (Standard or Premium) or within minutes (iGUIDE Instant). If you'd rather order later, click "Not Yet"
  4. Once your iGUIDE is published on the Portal, ESX processing begins automatically
  5. Download the ESX file from the Xactimate section of the portal or the "Show iGUIDE Details" page

Using Xactimate Virtual Tour Integration

Every iGUIDE Standard Sketch, Premium Sketch, and Instant Sketch comes with the virtual walkthrough URL embedded within the sketch. Loading the ESX file into Xactimate creates a separate window containing the 3D tour alongside the sketch for easy reference.

To view the virtual tour in Xactimate:

  1. Open the Xactimate software and log in
  2. Open the sketch for the property
  3. Once the project is open, click the "Integrations" tab to the left of the floor plan to launch the iGUIDE tour

Note: Protected Mode must be disabled on the iGUIDE to allow viewing within Xactimate.

Important Notes

Keep the following in mind when using the integration:

  1. Instant Sketch is a standalone product, with a maximum of 5,000 sq ft and 75 scans
  2. You can re-upload data to edit or improve the sketch as needed
