  3. Paste the token into Xactimate and the data will be loaded directly from the cloud.

BETA PLANIX firmware v1.8.12 (required for Instant Sketch, available to all)

In order to try out our new Instant Sketch BETA, the data you upload must be captured using PLANIX firmware version 1.8.12. This means your PLANIX firmware must be updated before you capture the first project that you intend to submit for an Instant Sketch.

A red warning icon is used to indicate which scans likely have poor alignment. This red icon is also shown in the scan list to give you a quick view of how well your scans are aligned in total. You can toggle ‘Alignment Notifications’ on and off from the Settings menu. You will also find that you can now delete scans from the edit menu, and upon a “poor alignment” warning, besides just the scan menu.

Auto-snap mode (replaces “tap to snap”) is now engaged during scan alignment when the Snap button is highlighted blue. Auto-snap mode can be disabled (white) by pressing Snap again, in order to manually align a scan yourself without assistance. This is different from PLANIX firmware versions 1.7.2 and earlier, in which the Snap button could be used to align by tapping once the scan was in an approximate position. To make alignment even easier, a pan & zoom tool has been added which you can find in the top-right corner of the screen during scan alignment.

See the full change log below:

  • New: Poor scan alignment feedback

  • New: Alignment Notification toggle option

  • New: Delete scan shortcut

  • New: Manual scan alignment auto-snap

  • New: Pan & Zoom during manual scan alignment

  • Improvement: Perform auto-align after 1st shot in two-shot mode

is available on the iGUIDE Portal, in Processing Fees.

BETA PLANIX firmware version 1.8.12 introduces a couple of exciting new features we have been working on lately involving scan alignment. Poor scan alignment feedback lets you know whether or not your latest scan maintained a . If you receive this notification, it’s probably best to delete your scan and retake it in a better position. Please note that the alignment feedback is only an estimate however, and you will still need to use your best judgment. See the images below and please note that details shown are subject to change during the BETA.

BETA PLANIX firmware v1.8.12 is available now, August 28th. To obtain this firmware version, please create a support ticket at the Support Desk () where the Support Team will be providing the file upon request. For instructions, see the . Please also note that reverting to a previous firmware version is not currently supported.
