Supported Product Upgrades & Billing
Some iGUIDE products can be upgraded from what was originally ordered to a different package or add-on. These upgrades will be billed the price of the newly chosen package and add-ons minus the price of the original package and add-ons. Here is a list of currently supported upgrades that have this ability.
Starting Package & Add-ons | Upgrade Packages & Add-ons (pay the difference) |
iGUIDE Radix | Instant Sketch |
iGUIDE Instant | iGUIDE Standard, iGUIDE Premium |
iGUIDE Instant Sketch | iGUIDE Standard, iGUIDE Premium |

2D CAD | 3D CAD (Available mid-June), Xactimate ESX, RCP (Reflected Ceiling Plan) |

Advanced Capture Requirements for 2D CAD & 3D CAD Packages
The new 2D CAD and 3D CAD packages are more detailed than any iGUIDE package that has come before them, which means more data is required to draw these packages. Reference the capture guide to learn about the shoot protocol and what data is required.
Automatic Blurring & Blurring Tool
Occasionally, details found in iGUIDE 360-degree images need to be hidden for privacy and security reasons. To make the process of hiding these details easier there will be a new Blurring Tool added to the iGUIDE Portal. By the end of June, you’ll be able to select the option to automatically blur faces and gain access to the Blurring Tool on the iGUIDE Portal. Automatic blurring will detect faces and automatically blur them. The manual Blurring Tool will allow you to select multiple areas of an image to blur and is good for blurring sensitive data such as people’s faces, family photos, computer screens, license plates, etc.
Portal Calculator
Starting on June 4th, there will be a new Calculator button under the Dashboard menu item on the iGUIDE Portal. This calculator can be used to estimate processing fees for all iGUIDE products, and it will closely resemble the new Create iGUIDE page.
Create iGUIDE Page Update
The Create Page will receive a few changes to the ordering process as outlined in Service & Technical Update 045 – May, 2024. This includes the addition of new industry selections that better classify the type of property the iGUIDE will be. This selection will provide an optimized list of preset packages to make the creation process more efficient. In each of the package selection lists, a ‘Manually configure’ (see image below) option will allow users to choose their own contents by selecting the base package and desired add-ons. Changes to the Create Page will be released on Tuesday, June 4th.
New selections include the 2D CAD Package and the 3D CAD Package. Reflected Ceiling Plans are now available as an additional add-on for AutoCAD DWG, Revit RVT, 2D CAD, and 3D CAD. These options expand the range of solutions for Architecture and Remodel focused companies, providing advanced information, additional views, PDF plans, and the DXF file.
iGUIDE PLANIX Mobile App Create iGUIDE Page Update
The iGUIDE PLANIX Mobile App Create Page will be updated to match the web version on June 7th.
Disable Property Address
An iGUIDE can now be created without including a property address. Selecting Disable Property Address will eliminate the need to complete required address fields and map tools for the iGUIDE. Properties with no address must be uniquely identified with a number or name chosen by the user. This iGUIDE will not be indexable (found on public search platforms). A Property Reference is required to give the property an identifiable name for the customer and support teams' convenience. All map features will be disabled for the iGUIDE any address functionality will not be able to be added once the iGUIDE is created.
