After connecting your smart device to the R1 camera, you will receive a message saying, “Camera has been successfully connected to your mobile device.”
Close this message by clicking the X in the top-right corner.
In the Devices section, you should see your Planix device or the camera's serial number along with its picture. Click on your R1 camera to proceed to the SurveyApp.
Once in the SurveyApp, click on the menu icon and select Projects.
Enter your Project Name, and if applicable, input the Wall Thickness.
Click on Create to start the project.
Next, you will be directed to the Floors page.
Enter or select the floor name and the Wall Thickness (if applicable).
Click Create to proceed.
Now, you should be on the Survey Screen of the SurveyApp. Below is a detailed explanation of the survey options available:
A) Capture Button
This button is used to capture a panoramic (Pano) image. Press it when you're ready to take a shot.
B) Two-Shot Mode
This mode is helpful when there is no hiding place while capturing a 360-degree panoramic image.
First, capture half of the image while standing behind the camera (position yourself behind the power button).
Then, move to the front of the camera to capture the rest of the image.
Make sure to follow these steps carefully for a seamless two-shot capture.
C) Real-Time Tagging
This option allows you to add tags to your panoramic images in real-time.
Click the Tag Icon, and you will be prompted to add a title to the tag.
Select the tag type and enter a description.
Tap Next, then choose the area in the image where you want to place the tag by tapping on the screen.
Tap Next again and adjust the tag's distance by moving it on the screen.
Click Save to add the tag to the image.
D) Align Button
If your panoramic images are not automatically aligned, click the Align Button to align them manually. For additional guidance, you can find further details about laser data and alignment by following this link (if available).
E) Dynamic and Static Mode
This setting allows you to adjust your HDR (High Dynamic Range) settings and choose whether the panels will be captured in Dynamic or Static mode:
Static Mode: Prioritizes accuracy over aesthetics, meaning measurements in modes two and three will be highly precise. This mode is ideal when focused on accurate data collection rather than visual appeal.
Dynamic Mode: This mode prioritizes aesthetics over measurement accuracy. It provides the best visual quality for marketing or presentation purposes but with slightly less precise measurements.
F) View Options
This button allows you to switch between three different views of the survey screen:
Recommended View: This view displays the visuals of the image at the top of the screen and the laser data at the bottom. It is suggested for most users as it provides both a clear image and relevant data.
Image-Only View: Displays only the captured panoramic image, hiding the laser data.
Laser Data-Only View: Displays only the laser data, hiding the panoramic image.
Depending on your task or preferences, you can switch between these views as needed.
G) Navigation Between Scans
You can use this button to navigate between all the scans you have captured. This makes it easy to review and ensure all necessary scans have been taken or to return to a specific scan for review or adjustments.
H) Hide Scan Button
This option allows you to hide specific scans from being visible in the virtual tour. For instance, if you capture a scan of a closet that you don’t want to show in the final virtual tour (for aesthetic reasons), you can hide the scan from public view while still keeping the data for drafting purposes. This ensures accurate data collection while giving you control over what is included in the tour.
