PLANIX Full Workflow

This video gives you a brief overview of the steps required to create an iGUIDE with your new PLANIX system, up until the point where you need to enter your data into Stitch.

1. Remove the PLANIX system from the case

2. Align the tripod head to make sure the camera system is level

3. Mount the system on the tripod, confirming it is secure

4. Remove the Ricoh THETA lens cap

5. Power on your system

6. Connect to survey (see video for full details)

7. Create a project and a floor

8. Start taking scans – either in one-shot or two-shot mode

   1. Once you hear the Ricoh Theta bleep you can pick up your tripod and move to your next camera position.

   2. When the scan has completed processing, click the shutter icon again to take another scan

   3. When you have captured more than one scan, you can check to make sure your data is aligning correctly and manually intervene only when required

9. Continue taking scans until you have captured data for the entire space

10. We recommend one scan every 5 metres – for visual and laser measurement data purposes

11. Check your coverage to ensure you have not missed any spaces before you leave the property

12. Place your PLANIX system back in the case, with the iGUIDE logo facing up (this makes it easier to remove the USB later as well).
