Prepare the Site for Capture

When you arrive at a site, there are several things you can do to improve the speed and quality of your capture before taking photos and videos.

• Turn on as many lights as possible in the area you are capturing.
• Assess the actual layout of the capture site and determine how similar it is to the reference plan.
• Plan a walking path for the areas that are being captured.
• Use door stops to prop open all doors to rooms, halls, and spaces being captured.
• If you can, move anything that obstructs your walking path.
• Try to capture during a time when the least number of people are walking or moving around.
• For electrical rooms, open any circuit breaker panels that you want to display in a SiteView.
• Confirm the camera's lens cap is off and clean the lens.
• Take a couple of practice captures to verify that your equipment is working correctly.
• Take reference measurement(s) if you plan on measuring in SiteView.
